Vytopic 0.1% ointment 30 grams

This type of Tacrolimus medication used on the skin to treat a skin condition called eczema (atopic dermatitis) in patients who did not respond well (or should not use) other eczema medications. Eczema is a type of allergy condition causing redness, irritation, and itching in the skin. This medication works by weakening the skin's defense (immune) system, thus reducing allergic reaction and relieving eczema. Tacrolimus belongs to a class of drugs called topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs). Also, this medication should not be used by anyone with a weakened immune system (for example, after organ transplantation). Tacrolimus ointment is a topical medication (applied to the skin) used to treat atopic dermatitis (eczema). Atopic dermatitis is a chronic (long-term) skin disease in which the skin becomes inflamed, causing itching, redness, swelling, cracking, oozing, and scaly patches. The inflammation is caused by activation of the immune system although the exact cause of activation is unknown.
