Crolimus Ointment 10g

Used For:

Crolimus Ointment is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema (atopic dermatitis). It contains an active ingredient that belongs to a class of drugs called calcineurin inhibitors. This ointment works by suppressing the immune response in the skin, thereby reducing inflammation, itching, and redness associated with eczema. It is often prescribed for patients who have not responded well to other treatments or who wish to avoid the side effects of corticosteroids.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include mild burning, stinging, or itching at the application site, particularly when first starting the treatment. These effects are usually temporary. In some cases, patients may experience skin redness or a feeling of warmth. Rarely, the ointment may increase the risk of skin infections or lead to more serious side effects like swollen glands or a feeling of pressure in the head. If severe reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions:

• Use the ointment as directed by a healthcare provider, typically applied in a thin layer to the affected areas.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light (such as tanning beds) while using this ointment, as it may increase your skin's sensitivity to light.
• Do not use on broken or infected skin unless advised by a doctor.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a weakened immune system, consult a healthcare provider before using this ointment.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.
