helpFrequently Asked Questions

What is Takfa Forte Ointment used for?

expand_more

Takfa Forte Ointment is used to treat moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults who do not respond to steroids or develop side effects when using them. In atopic dermatitis, the skin’s immune system undergoes an overreaction, causing skin inflammation, leading to itchiness, redness, and dryness. Takfa Forte Ointment acts on the abnormal immune response and alters it, thereby relieving the skin inflammation and itchiness.

Is Takfa Forte Ointment safe?

expand_more

Compared to other immunosuppressing medicines, Takfa Forte Ointment is a safe and effective short-term treatment for atopic dermatitis. When applied to the affected part of the skin, its absorption into the blood and body is minimal. Hence, the side effects are less compared to when taken through the oral route.

Does Takfa Forte Ointment cause cancer?

expand_more

Long-term use of Takfa Forte Ointment has been found to have an increased risk of lymph node tumors called lymphoma. Some studies have found that a few patients who used Takfa Forte Ointment ointment or another similar medication developed skin cancer or lymphoma. Consult your doctor if you have to use Takfa Forte Ointment ointment for more than 6 weeks or if your eczema symptoms have not improved or are getting worse with time during your treatment.

Is Takfa Forte Ointment a steroid?

expand_more

No, Takfa Forte Ointment is not a steroid. It is a medicine that modulates the working of the immune system. It is used in the treatment of eczema, most commonly in atopic dermatitis.
