Talimus Ointment 5 gm Substitute

Talimus Ointment 5 gm contains Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant 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).

Talimus Ointment 5 gm may cause a burning sensation of the skin at the application site as a temporary side effect. However, if the burning sensation persists or worsens, please consult a doctor.

You are recommended to avoid or limit exposure to the sun for a long time or artificial light such as tanning beds. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen before going out in the sun.

You are not recommended to take a shower, swim or bath immediately after applying Talimus Ointment 5 gm as water may wash off this medicine.

Talimus Ointment 5 gm is flammable and can catch fire; hence, avoid smoking or going near naked flames after applying the ointment of tacrolimus.
