Topgraf Ointment

Product Overview

Topgraf Ointment is a medication containing the active ingredient Tacrolimus Ointment 0.03%. It is specially designed to provide relief from symptoms of eczema and certain other skin conditions, giving patients a therapeutic solution to combat skin flare-ups.

Uses

Topgraf Ointment is primarily prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis). It is used when other treatments, such as topical corticosteroids, haven’t provided adequate relief or aren’t suitable.

How it Works

The primary active ingredient, Tacrolimus, functions as an immunosuppressant. By reducing the activity of the body’s immune system, it helps decrease skin inflammation, thus alleviating symptoms of eczema like itching, redness, and swelling.

Dosage and Administration

Clean and dry the affected skin area. Apply a thin layer of Topgraf Ointment to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician. The ointment should be used for the shortest time necessary to achieve the desired results. Discontinue use once the symptoms resolve.
