Active composition
Medical applications
Mavtac Ointment contains Tacrolimus 0.03% w/w, a topical immunomodulator indicated for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in patients who have not responded adequately to conventional therapies. Tacrolimus acts by inhibiting calcineurin, thereby suppressing T-lymphocyte activation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which reduces inflammation and pruritus associated with eczema.
Mavtac Ointment is applied thinly to the affected areas twice daily, avoiding contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin regions such as the face, neck, and flexural areas where corticosteroid use may be limited due to potential side effects. Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in improving skin lesions and reducing symptoms with a favorable safety profile.
Common adverse reactions include transient burning or stinging sensation at the application site, which typically diminishes with continued use. Long-term safety data suggest minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of systemic immunosuppression. Mavtac Ointment should be used under medical supervision, and patients should be advised to avoid excessive sun exposure during treatment.
It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Tacrolimus or any ointment excipients.
