    immunosuppressive drug used to treat eczema and prevent organ rejection

    Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive medication commonly used to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat certain skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

In dermatology, it is often available as a topical ointment under the brand name Protopic.
