Protopic Ointment
Protopic ointment is a topical immunosuppressant used in the treatment of eczema (atopic dermatitis). It contains tacrolimus, an active substance that helps to suppress the immune system in the skin to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms of the condition.
How is this medication used?
Apply a thin layer of Protopic ointment to the affected area of the skin twice daily. The ointment should be used for short periods, and if needed, treatment can be repeated with breaks in between. Use the medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of Protopic ointment include mild burning, stinging, or itching at the application site, headache, flu-like symptoms, and skin redness. Serious side effects may include increased risk of skin infections, allergic reactions, and in rare cases, a possible increase in the risk of certain types of cancers. Consult your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects.
What are the potential interactions?
Protopic ointment may interact with other topical treatments or products used on the skin. Avoid using it with other topical medications unless your healthcare provider has told you it is safe. Additionally, limit exposure to natural or artificial sunlight (such as tanning beds) while using Protopic ointment, as it may increase the risk of skin cancer.
