About Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm

Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm belongs to a class of drugs called 'immunosuppressants' used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a common skin condition associated with inflamed and itchy skin patches. The symptoms include itchy, dry, flaky, swollen, rough and irritated skin.

Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm contains 'Tacrolimus' that works by suppressing the over-reaction of immune cells in the skin to a stimulus. Thus, it reduces allergic reactions and inflammation (redness and swelling). 

Use Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm as prescribed. You are advised to use Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, burning sensation, redness, pain or skin tingling. Most of these side effects of Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Tacrolimus or other medicines. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm. Avoid alcohol consumption with Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm as it may cause flushing (sudden reddening of face or skin that makes you feel warm and hot). Do not cover or wrap the treated area with a bandage or dressing.  Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) in contact with Tacvido Forte Ointment 20 gm catches fire and burns easily.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Atopic dermatitis: It is also known as eczema, a common skin condition associated with inflamed and itchy skin patches. It occurs when an overactive immune system responds aggressively to exposed irritants. It usually affects the inner elbows, arms, back of knees or head but can occur anywhere. Eczema is not contagious. Scratching irritates and inflames the skin, which may cause infections which must be treated with antibiotics. The symptoms include itchy, dry, flakey, swollen, rough and irritated skin.
