Treatment of severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in adults and children who have not responded to other treatments.

Tacvido Forte Oint 20gm (Tacrolimus) is an immunosuppressant drug. It works by inhibiting calcineurin, a protein involved in the activation of T-cells, which are crucial components of the immune system. By suppressing T-cell activity, tacrolimus reduces the body's immune response, thereby preventing the rejection of transplanted organs or reducing the inflammatory response in severe eczema.

Store tacrolimus as directed on the product label, typically at room temperature away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children. Discard any unused medication after its expiration date.
