TAKFA FORTE LOTION contains Tacrolimus which belongs to the group of medicines called Immunosuppressants. It is used to manage moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) when other conventional therapies fail to provide adequate results.

Atopic dermatitis is an allergic skin condition that makes your skin itchy, red, dry and irritated. It is characterized by small, raised bumps on the skin with pus accompanied by severe skin itching, redness and inflammation.

TAKFA FORTE LOTION is suitable for use both in adults and children (aged 16 years or older). Apply a thin layer of TAKFA FORTE LOTION on the affected skin areas. You may use your regular skin moisturizer and/or other skin lotions along with TAKFA FORTE LOTION, but make sure to apply them after 2 hours of applying TAKFA FORTE LOTION.

Do not use TAKFA FORTE LOTION for more than the stipulated duration recommended by your doctor. Regularly visit your doctor (once a year or as instructed) for reviewing your condition even if your condition remains under control.

Before using TAKFA FORTE LOTION inform your doctor if you have any other skin disease apart from eczema such as skin cancer, skin infections or lesions at the application site, any inherited skin barrier disease or generalised erythroderma (severe skin redness and scaling).

You must also inform your doctor if you have a weak immune system, liver problems or any autoimmune disease conditions. Consult your doctor before using TAKFA FORTE LOTION if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

While undergoing therapy with TAKFA FORTE LOTION, avoid exposing your skin towards direct sunlight or towards any artificial light sources. Wear loose-fitting protective clothes and apply sunscreen while going outdoors. Also, avoid the consumption of alcohol as it may make your skin look more flushed. Do not smoke or go near naked flames as it may increase the risk of burns.

The most common side effects of applying TAKFA FORTE LOTION are skin irritation, burning sensation, redness or warmth at the site of application. Consult your doctor if this side effect troubles you.
