Description of Protopic Ointment
Protopic Ointment has Tacrolimus as its active ingredient, and it belongs to the category of topical macrolide immune suppressants or topical calcineurin inhibitors. It is available in the form of a topical application. Each gram of the medicine contains 0.03 or 0.1% Tacrolimus, mineral oil, propylene carbonate, paraffin, white wax and white petrolatum.
Indications & Dosage of Protopic Ointment
Your doctor will recommend you to buy Protopic Ointment in order to treat eczema or atopic dermatitis. It is given to a patient only if he or she has not responded to other eczema drugs. Protopic Ointment works by weakening the immune system of the patient so that allergic reaction can be decreased and eczema can be relieved.
Your doctor will advise you to apply a thin layer of Protopic Ointment on the affected skin two times a day. Rub the ointment gently on the area and leave it on without using any occlusive dressing or bandage. Your symptoms should improve within 6 weeks of starting treatment. Inform your doctor if this does not happen.
