Protopic 0.1 % Ointment 60G
Protopic is an ointment used to treat atopic dermatitis (eczema) and allergic skin inflammation. It belongs to the class of immunosuppressive drugs, working to reduce inflammation and itching associated with these conditions. It is applied topically to the skin to alleviate symptoms and improve skin condition.
Protopic contains the active ingredient Tacrolimus, which works by inhibiting the activity of immune cells that cause inflammation. By reducing the immune response, this ointment helps relieve symptoms such as redness and itching. Protopic is considered an effective option for treating conditions that do not respond to traditional treatments like corticosteroids. It can be used in various cases of dermatitis, making it a versatile treatment.
