Goodfellow Unit Webinar: Tacrolimus use in eczema

Tacrolimus is a topical immunosuppressant used for treating moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) when conventional treatments, like corticosteroids, are ineffective or inappropriate. It works by inhibiting T-lymphocyte activation, reducing skin inflammation and itchiness without causing skin thinning, a common side effect of long-term steroid use. Two products in this class are available in NZ by Special Authority or self-payment. They are Tacrolimus (Zematop) and Pimecrolimus (Elidel). Tacrolimus is the more potent of the two. Applied twice daily, it is particularly useful in sensitive areas such as the face and neck. GPs should monitor for side effects at the application site and advise patients to avoid excessive sun exposure due to potential increased sensitivity. George is a UK-based expert in Tacrolimus.
