About Tackon Solution

Tackon Solution is used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a common skin condition associated with inflamed and itchy skin patches. The symptoms include itchy, dry, flaky, swollen, rough and irritated skin.

Tackon Solution contains 'Tacrolimus' that works by suppressing the over-reaction of immune cells in the skin to a stimulus. Thus, it reduces allergic reactions and inflammation (redness and swelling). 

Use Tackon Solution as prescribed. You are advised to use Tackon Solution for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, burning sensation, redness, pain or skin tingling. Most of these side effects of Tackon Solution do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Tacrolimus or other medicines. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Tackon Solution. Avoid alcohol consumption with Tackon Solution as it may cause flushing (sudden reddening of face or skin that makes you feel warm and hot). Do not cover or wrap the treated area with a bandage or dressing.  Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) in contact with Tackon Solution catches fire and burns easily.

Uses of Tackon Solution

Tackon Solution is used in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema). The detailed uses of Tackon Solution are as follows:
• Atopic Dermatitis Treatment: Tackon Solution is often used to manage symptoms of atopic dermatitis, providing relief for itching and inflammation associated with this skin condition.
• Reducing Skin Inflammation: Tackon Solution can also be used to reduce overall skin inflammation, whether due to allergic reactions or other inflammatory conditions.
• Psoriasis Management: Tackon Solution can be effective in treating psoriasis by reducing the scaling and redness of the skin.
• Eczema Relief: Tackon Solution may be used to alleviate the symptoms of eczema, helping to soothe irritated skin and restore moisture.
• Post-Transplant Skin Care: Tackon Solution is sometimes prescribed for patients who have undergone organ transplants to prevent skin-related complications.

Directions for Use

Wash your hands before and after applying Tackon Solution. Apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected skin area as prescribed by your doctor. Tackon Solution is only for external use. Avoid contact with eyes, nose or mouth as it may irritate. If Tackon Solution accidentally comes in contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.

Medicinal Benefits

Tackon Solution contains Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in adults who are not adequately responsive or are intolerant to topical corticosteroids and in children (above 2 years) who failed to respond adequately to topical corticosteroids.  Tackon Solution suppresses the overreaction of immune cells in the skin to a stimulus. Thus, it reduces allergic reactions and inflammation (redness and swelling).
