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.
4. How to Apply Tacroz Ointment
- Wash & dry your hands and affected area.
- Apply a thin layer twice daily (morning + evening) for up to 6 weeks.
- Rub in gently until fully absorbed.
- Re-wash your hands (unless treating hands).
- Do not cover with occlusive dressings or bandages.
- If no improvement after 6 weeks, consult your physician for further management.

7. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use tacrolimus long-term?
A1: Intermittent or short-term courses (up to 6 weeks) are typical. Long-term use may be considered under close medical supervision for chronic eczema.
Q2: Does tacrolimus thin the skin?
A2: Unlike topical steroids, tacrolimus does not cause skin atrophy, making it safer for delicate areas like the face and eyelids.
Q3: Is 0.03% or 0.1% better?
A3: 0.1% is used in adults or more severe cases; 0.03% may be preferred in children or sensitive skin.
Q4: How soon will I see improvement?
A4: Some patients notice relief in 1–2 weeks, but full response can take 4–6 weeks of consistent use.
Q5: Can I apply over sunscreen or makeup?
A5: It’s best to apply before other topical products and allow 2 hours before sun exposure.
Tretinoin Usage Guide for beginners:
Step 1: Start Low
- Begin with the 0.025% concentration, especially if you've never used Tretinoin or Retin-A before.
Step 2: Apply at Night
- Use Tretinoin as the final step in your nighttime routine.
- Apply a pea-sized amount to your face, avoiding:
- Corners of the nose
- Mouth
- Lips (as these areas are more sensitive).
Step 3: Protect Against Sun
- Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity. Always:
- Use a broad-spectrum SPF50 sunscreen during the day.
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Step 4: Moisturize
- Combat dryness by:
- Using a hydrating moisturizer after Tretinoin or as part of your daytime routine.
Step 5: Consult & Educate
- Seek advice from a dermatologist or research proper usage and precautions before starting.
