Question 1

What is Protopic and what is its indication

Answer 1

Tacrolimus - primarily indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema)

Question 2

How should protopic be applied

Answer 2

For initial treatment, Protopic is typically applied twice a day (morning and evening).
Once symptoms improve, your doctor may adjust the treatment to once a day or as a maintenance therapy to prevent flare-ups.

Make sure to avoid getting it in your eyes, nose, or mouth.

Additional Notes:
Avoid sunlight and tanning beds: Limit sun exposure on treated areas, as Protopic may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Do not apply to infected skin: If you have a skin infection at the affected area, consult your healthcare provider before using Protopic.
