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. Delay use in patients with unknown cause of lymphadenopathy or acute infectious mononucleosis till resolution. Use in patients with Netherton's syndrome is not recommended. Pregnancy.
