About Tecum Lotion 15 ml
Tecum Lotion 15 ml belongs to a class of drugs called ‘immunosuppressants‘ used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) and prevent organ rejection after a transplant. 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. Organ rejection occurs when a patient’s immune system recognizes the donor organ as foreign and tries to eliminate it.
Tecum Lotion 15 ml contains ‘Tacrolimus‘ that works by suppressing the over-reaction of immune cells in the skin to a stimulus. Thereby, reduces allergic reaction and inflammation (redness and swelling). Also, Tecum Lotion 15 ml suppresses T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that normally attacks foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. Thereby prevents organ rejection in transplanted patients and helps the body in accepting the new organ.
Use Tecum Lotion 15 ml as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Tecum Lotion 15 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience itching, burning sensation, redness, pain, skin tingling, nausea, diarrhoea, headache, increased blood sugar levels, kidney problems, dizziness or stomach pain. Most of these side effects of Tecum Lotion 15 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Tecum Lotion 15 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Tecum Lotion 15 ml. Avoid alcohol consumption with Tecum Lotion 15 ml as it may increase the risk of severe adverse effects. Drive only if you are alert as Tecum Lotion 15 ml may cause drowsiness, dizziness or vision problems. Do not cover or wrap the treated area with bandage or dressing. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) in contact with Tecum Lotion 15 ml catches fire and burns easily.
