Product Introduction:
Acroli Forte Ointment is a topical medication that contains Tacrolimus 0.1% w/w as its active ingredient. Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive agent that is commonly used topically to treat certain inflammatory skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis (eczema).
Acroli Forte Ointment is used for external use. It should be used 2-4 times a day on the affected area or use it as suggested by the doctor. It should be applied slowly and evenly to the skin until it is rubbed in. You should not use it too often and you should not cover the treated area with a bandage or plaster. You must inform your doctor if there’s no improvement even after two weeks of treatment or if the skin gets worse.
Use of this medicine may cause some common side effects like erythema, headache, inflammation of hair follicle, and application site reaction like burning, irritation, itching, and redness. This medicine is not normally recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless it is clearly needed.
