1. What Is Tacroz Tacrolimus Ointment?

Tacroz is a topical ointment containing tacrolimus 0.03% or 0.1% (also sold as Tacroz Forte). Manufactured by Glenmark, it belongs to the class of Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors (TCIs) and is prescribed when first-line corticosteroids are insufficient or contraindicated.

2. How Tacrolimus Works on Eczema

• Calcineurin Inhibition: Tacrolimus blocks calcineurin, reducing interleukin-2 (IL-2) production and T-cell activation.
• Anti-inflammatory Effect: Directly dampens the immune response in affected skin without the atrophy risk of steroids.

3. Indications & Off-Label Uses

• Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): For moderate-to-severe cases unresponsive to standard creams.
• Post-Transplant Care: Systemic tacrolimus prevents organ rejection; topical may help localized immune conditions.
• Other T-Cell Diseases: Vitiligo repigmentation, refractory uveitis, lichen planus.
