Tacroren 0.5 MG Capsule Health Feed

Asked for male, 26 years old from Ludhiana

Hi everyone, I am 26 years old & very anxious about my vitiligo condition. I am suffering from it from last 8 years. On the very first year, I took allopathy from the reputed doctors and apply various ointments like tacrolimus. Initially, the patches were about to reduce but after a few months, they got bigger and have attacked with new patches. I took uvba light as well for a few months but no effect at all. After 3 years, I switched to homeopathy and he told me to get some things tested. My reports were +ve and I got +ve result from allergies (dust, food). Till now I have switched 3-4 homeopathy doctors including Dr. batra's because of no result. Apart from batra's the other homeopathy doctors prescribed me to take ammi visnaga, hydrocotyle, photos foetidus, allergen, arsenicum sulphuratum flavum 6x. Now I am taking medicine from reputed homeopathy clinic from delhi though I get some relief from allergy but not from vitiligo, I got some new patches as well. I researched and read some notes (studies) that some group took folic acids, vitamin b12, ginkgo biloba and they get cured but none of these groups listed their -ve effects. I am afraid to take these supplements. * I have some white hair. Patches location - neck (the initial patch), around both eyes, elbow, fingertips, hand. Please give me genuine advice that can cure my condition. Thanks!

First of all there should not be such errors with these highly refined medicines. But still if taken double dose in morning. You can take half dose in evening. But do not skip the evening dose.

There is no permanent treatment for GPC and steroids are the only medicine that provide some relief from this problem . Try using steroid ointment instead of drops. Also try using Tacrolimus ointment twice a day after consulting your eye doctor.
Best wishes.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition (where your autoimmune system is attacking your hair ). Tacrolimus is an immunomodulator (stops immune system from attacking the hair)

Tacrolimus is used for kidney transplant as well as membranous nephropathy. It takes a little time for protein to reduce. Just be patient, and follow the instructions given by your nephrologist. You should be fine.

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.

Hello Ruth I am sure they gave you a steroid before you started tacrolimus, an immunomodulator.You would have to use the medications for atleast 6-8 weeks to see any improvement at all.
Thank you

Tacrolimus ointment helps reduce inflammatory skin reactions. It is prescribed for people with moderate-to-severe eczema, usually as an alternative to other treatments such as steroid creams or ointments. It is applied topically (on to the skin) to reduce symptoms such as inflammation, redness and itching.
You cannot use it for the penis foreskin and above all, it is wrong and unwanted to think that the foreskin is tight can be softened by any cream.

Hello.
Tacrolimus level depends upon a lot of factors. In patients with high risk transplant, we tend to keep Tacrolimus level at a higher range. In general, if everything else is going well, level should be around 6.
But again, it depends upon a lot of factors and the nephrologist you r following should be able to guide you better.
