Moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema)

Mylimus 0.1% ointment 20gm provides immunosuppression by inhibiting T-lymphocyte activation and proliferation and T-helper-cell-dependent B-cell response. It works by attaching to a protein called FKBP-12 and forms a complex called tacrolimus-FKBP, which inhibits the action of calcineurin phosphatase. This, in turn, inhibits the formation of T cells and suppresses the immune response.

This medicine is only for topical use. Always use mylimus 0.1% ointment 20gm exactly as advised by your doctor. Apply the ointment as a thin layer to the affected areas of your skin.
