Question 1

What is Tacroz Forte Ointment used for?

Accepted Answer

Tacroz Forte Ointment is used to treat moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults who do not respond to steroids or develop side effects when using them. In atopic dermatitis, the skin’s immune system undergoes an overreaction, causing skin inflammation, leading to itchiness, redness, and dryness. Tacroz Forte Ointment acts on the abnormal immune response and alters it, thereby relieving the skin inflammation and itchiness.

Question 2

Is Tacroz Forte Ointment safe?

Accepted Answer

Compared to other immunosuppressing medicines, Tacroz Forte Ointment is a safe and effective short-term treatment for atopic dermatitis. When applied to the affected part of the skin, its absorption into the blood and body is minimal. Hence, the side effects are less compared to when taken through the oral route.

Question 3

Does Tacroz Forte Ointment cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of Tacroz Forte Ointment has been found to have an increased risk of lymph node tumors called lymphoma. Some studies have found that a few patients who used Tacroz Forte Ointment ointment or another similar medication developed skin cancer or lymphoma. Consult your doctor if you have to use Tacroz Forte Ointment ointment for more than 6 weeks or if your eczema symptoms have not improved or are getting worse with time during your treatment.
