About Tbis Lotion

Tbis Lotion 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.

Tbis Lotion 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 Tbis Lotion as prescribed. You are advised to use Tbis Lotion 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 Tbis Lotion 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 Tbis Lotion. Avoid alcohol consumption with Tbis Lotion 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 Tbis Lotion catches fire and burns easily.

Uses of Tbis Lotion

Tbis Lotion is used in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema). The detailed uses of Tbis Lotion are as follows:
• Atopic Dermatitis Treatment: Tbis Lotion is often used to manage symptoms of atopic dermatitis, providing relief for itching and inflammation associated with this skin condition.
• Reducing Skin Inflammation: Tbis Lotion can also be used to reduce overall skin inflammation, whether due to allergic reactions or other inflammatory conditions.
• Psoriasis Management: Tbis Lotion can be effective in treating psoriasis by reducing the scaling and redness of the skin.
• Eczema Relief: Tbis Lotion may be used to alleviate the symptoms of eczema, helping to soothe irritated skin and restore moisture.
• Post-Transplant Skin Care: Tbis Lotion 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 Tbis Lotion. Apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected skin area as prescribed by your doctor. Tbis Lotion is only for external use. Avoid contact with eyes, nose or mouth as it may irritate. If Tbis Lotion accidentally comes in contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.

Medicinal Benefits

Tbis Lotion 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.  Tbis Lotion suppresses the overreaction of immune cells in the skin to a stimulus. Thus, it reduces allergic reactions and inflammation (redness and swelling).
