他克莫司软膏要擦多久,太痒了要停药吗？

Tacrolimus ointment has the effect of inhibiting inflammatory reactions and regulating immune function, and is often used to treat skin inflammation. Studies have shown that regular use of tacrolimus ointment in patients with dermatitis has good clinical effects and can prolong the stable period of the disease. Tacrolimus ointment can inhibit the secretion and expression of lymphokines such as interleukin-2 and 3 and interferon, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, and thereby reduce the risk of disease recurrence. So, how long should I apply it? If it is too itchy, should I stop taking it?

How long should I apply tacrolimus ointment?

Tacrolimus ointment is generally used continuously for no more than one month. Some patients experience local itching or a pricking sensation 2-3 days before use, and in severe cases, erosion and exudation occur. If the above symptoms occur, the use of tacrolimus needs to be temporarily stopped.

Do I need to stop taking Tacrolimus ointment if it is too itchy?

For many patients who use tacrolimus ointment for the first time, they will feel itching or burning pain. If you experience pain or itching when applying it, you can first apply a layer of mild moisturizer, such as vitamin E ointment or zinc oxide ointment, and then apply tacrolimus ointment, which will provide great relief.

Here, the editor of Medical Companion Travel would like to remind everyone that if you choose to use tacrolimus ointment, you must follow the doctor's instructions and use the medicine strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions. At present, due to the development of the Internet, there is a lot of unfounded information, which makes many patients think that the efficacy can be improved by increasing the dose of drugs, or that side effects can be avoided by reducing the dose of drugs. These are wrong, and patients are expected to use drugs rationally.
