Tacoseal Ointment

Tacoseal Ointment is used to treat eczema (atopic dermatitis). It works by suppressing the activity of certain immune cells that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) of the skin. This relieves itching and improves rashes in atopic dermatitis.

Tacoseal Ointment is used for external use. It should be used 2-4 times a day on the affected area, or use it as suggested by the doctor. It should be applied slowly and evenly to the skin until it is rubbed in. You should not use it too often, and you should not cover the treated area with a bandage or plaster. You must inform your doctor if there’s no improvement even after two weeks of treatment or if the skin gets worse.

Use of this medicine may cause some common side effects such as erythema, headache, inflammation of the hair follicle, and application site reactions like burning, irritation, itching, and redness. This medicine is not normally recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless it is clearly needed.

• Treatment of Atopic dermatitis

• Tacoseal Ointment is effective at treating eczema (atopic dermatitis) when other treatment options have failed.
• Apply thinly to affected areas of skin only. Clean the affected area and dry well before applying Tacoseal Ointment. Avoid contact with water after application.
• Inform your doctor if there's no improvement even after two weeks of treatment, or if the skin gets worse.
• Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
• Stop using Tacoseal Ointment and consult your doctor if your eczema becomes infected.
• Continuous long-term use of the ointment should be avoided. Use as prescribed by your doctor.
