Product Description

Tacrolimus topical ointment is used on the skin to treat a condition called eczema (atopic dermatitis) in patients who have not responded well (or cannot use) other topical medications for eczema.

Tacrolimus topical is used on the skin to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in patients who have received other medicines that have not worked well. Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition where there is itching, redness, and inflammation, much like an allergic reaction.

A skin condition with symptoms of itching, redness, and inflammation.

  1. Wash and clean the area, then pat dry before use. Use a thin layer of ointment to cover the affected area of skin, do not take this medication by mouth. Do not cover the treated skin unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
  2. Do not take longer than recommended by your doctor.

This ointment can increase your sensitivity to sunlight and increase your risk of certain skin tumors. It is best to avoid the sun, sunlamps, and tanning beds. Use sunscreen and wear clothing and eyewear that protects you from the sun when you are out.

No. Tacrolimus topical ointment is not a steroid. It works in a completely different way to other treatments (i.e. topical steroids) but also reduces inflammation in the affected area(s) like steroids.

Tacrolimus ointment is not indicated for continuous long-term use. You should call your doctor if you have used tacrolimus ointment for 6 weeks and your symptoms have not improved, or if they have worsened at any period during that time. A different medication may be required.

Tacrolimus can be used on the face and folds, as well as any affected skin site. However, mucous membranes should be avoided. For acute skin flares, topical steroids may be a better first choice with tacrolimus ointment introduced as the condition improves.

It is important to keep up good skin care practices when dealing with eczema and dry skin. If you use moisturizers with tacrolimus ointment, then apply the moisturizers AFTER applying tacrolimus ointment.

Tacrolimus is considered a very strong medication. It can cause serious side effects such as kidney problems, and may also decrease the body’s ability to fight infections. While it can be used safely under supervision, you and your doctor should discuss the benefits of this medicine as well as the risk of using it.

I’m recommending if you can use NextRX to go for it. When my insurance would not cover a medication I needed and it was going to cost me over $500, the pharmacist, Kierstyn, made sure to research if the could get the medication. She was able to get it for me for as low as $35.00. I was super shocked excited that I was going to be able to get my medication in order to get on track with my health. Thank you for all that you do!! Read Less

The staff are always extreme nice and helpful. I have been picking prescriptions up there for someone else, and decided to ask about transferring my prescriptions there. They don’t take insurance, and my prescriptions cost 1/3 of what I was paying at Walgreens with my insurance. Amazing! I highly recommend NextRx! Read Less

I found this little Gem this year. I absolutely love NextRX. My prescriptions are half of what they cost through OptumRx or other pharmacies. It’s across town for me, but it’s worth the drive. The people are friendly, helpful and have been very fast filling my prescriptions. I recommended them to several people, and I even told my doctor to mention them to any of their patients that might have expensive prescriptions that they could possibly get cheaper here. Read Less

NEVER have I had a pharmacy be as helpful and accommodating and CHEAP as NextRx. If you are self pay or do not have insurance, USE THIS PHARMACY. My scripts are LITERALLY half the cost as when I would get them filled at Schnucks CVS. Also, one of the medication’s I take has a supply issue. They have had no problem reaching out to my doctor to adjust the prescription to accommodate what they have in stock. Thank you so much next RX for keeping me in the prescriptions that I need to help me live a successful life! Read Less

Always friendly and knowledgeable! Not to mention that they save me a good deal of money on the same drugs I had been paying 3 times more for through my insurance company. Crazy but true.

I’ve had the occasion to use this pharmacy twice. An antibiotic for myself and a two week supply of antibiotics for my dog. My medication was $5, my best friend’s was $7. You will not find this price in any other retail pharmacy. Most copays are not this low. You will pay less here and be treated well. There is no hassle with insurance either (which is why it’s so cheap). This is truly one of Columbia‘s best kept secrets (but it won’t be a secret for long). Read Less
