Tacrolimus
Tacrolimus ointment is used to treat the symptoms of eczema (atopic dermatitis; a skin disease that causes the skin to be dry and itchy and to sometimes develop red, scaly rashes) in patients who cannot use other medications for their condition or whose eczema has not responded to another medication.Tacrolimus is a calcineurin-inhibitor immunosuppressive agent that has been studied in patients receiving heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, small bowel, or bone marrow transplants. Tacrolimus has been shown to be effective in graft rejection prophylaxis and in the management of acute and steroid- or cyclosporine-resistant transplant rejection, and it is considered an alternative to cyclosporine immunosuppression. Tacrolimus has been shown to be 10 to100 times more potent than cyclosporine.
Niacinamide
Niacin (nicotinic acid or 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid) is a B-complex vitamin. Good dietary sources of niacin are animal proteins, beans, green vegetables, liver, mushrooms, peanuts, whole wheat, and unpolished rice. Niacin is also present in cereal grains but is largely bound to plant proteins, and thus is poorly absorbed after ingestion.
