WHAT PROTOPIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance of Protopic, tacrolimus monohydrate, is an
immunomodulating agent.
Protopic 0.03% ointment is used to treat moderate to severe atopic
dermatitis (eczema) in adults who
are not adequately responsive to or are intolerant of conventional
therapies such as topical
corticosteroids and in children (2 years of age and older) who failed
to respond adequately to
conventional therapies such as topical corticosteroids.
Once moderate to severe atopic dermatitis is cleared or almost cleared
after up to 6 weeks treatment of
a flare, and if you are experiencing frequent flares (i.e. 4 or more
per year), it may be possible to
prevent flares coming back or prolong the time you are free from
flares by using Protopic 0.03%
ointment twice weekly.
In atopic dermatitis, an over-reaction of the skin’s immune system
causes skin inflammation
(itchiness, redness, dryness). Protopic alters the abnormal immune
response and relieves the skin
inflammation and the itch.
