Introduction

Vitilimus 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. Vitilimus 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. It is a safe medicine with few side effects, but you may get an application site reaction like burning, irritation, itching and redness. This medicine is not normally recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless it is clearly needed.

Contraindication

Mode of Action

Tacrolimus inhibits T-lymphocyte activation, although the exact mechanism of action unclear. Tacrolimus bind to cytosolic receptors known as immunophilins (i.e., cyclophilin and FK binding protein-12 [FKBP-12], respectively), forming complexes that inhibit the production of cytokines via the calcineurin pathway. Inhibition of calcineurin activity inhibits early activation of T-cells (ie.immunosuppresion results).

Precaution

Monitoring of blood trough serum concentrations to prevent organ rejection and to reduce drug-related toxicity. Topical: Used with caution on the face or neck, large areas of the body (not >50% of the total BSA), or areas of broken skin. Infections at the treatment site should be cleared prior to therapy.
