Why aren't dermatologist prescribing the protopic ointment anyone? -- i have eczema
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Selected cases: tacrolimus isn't an easy drug, should be limited to moderate to severe cases of atopic dermatitis, for short term use only, if all measures failed, it can be repeated though, but first should exhaust other measures, goodluck
