GlossaryTacrolimus

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. It works by inhibiting the activity of T-cells, which are part of the immune system, thereby reducing inflammation and immune responses. In dermatology, it is often available as a topical ointment under the brand name Protopic.
