What does it do?

Tacrolimus hydrate belongs to the class of immunosuppressants and is mainly used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases or inflammatory skin diseases. This ingredient aims to alleviate symptoms by regulating the excessive response of the immune system.

Tacrolimus hydrate binds to specific proteins within immune cells, blocking the signaling that triggers immune reactions. As a result, the activity of immune cells that induce inflammation decreases, alleviating skin inflammation and autoimmune responses.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike steroids, tacrolimus acts by inhibiting the signaling of immune cells rather than exerting a direct anti-inflammatory effect. This results in fewer steroid-related side effects with long-term use, and higher safety when applied topically to the skin.
