Frequently asked questions
What is Tacvido Forte Solution used for?
Tacvido Forte Solution is a medication that modifies the immune system. It works by modulating the immune response and decreasing its activity. It is prescribed to treat moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults who have not responded to or experienced side effects from topical corticosteroids.
What are the possible side effects of Tacvido Forte Solution?
Tacvido Forte Solution, when applied topically, may cause skin irritation, burning sensation, itching at the site of application. These are generally mild to moderate in severity and typically resolve within one week of starting treatment. Redness is also common, along with sensations of warmth, pain, altered sensation, and rash at the site of application. The use of Tacvido Forte Solution increases the patient's risk of developing inflamed or infected hair follicles, cold sores, acne, and generalized herpes simplex infections.
Is Tacvido Forte Solution ointment safe?
Tacvido Forte Solution is generally considered a safe and effective short-term treatment option for atopic dermatitis compared to other immunosuppressive medications. It has minimal absorption into the bloodstream, leading to fewer side effects when applied topically as compared to oral administration.
Does Tacvido Forte Solution have abuse potential?
No, Tacvido Forte Solution does not have a potential for abuse and therefore is not a controlled substance. Controlled substances have potential for misuse by individuals seeking the drug's effects without proper medical supervision, necessitating authority approval before use.
Does Tacvido Forte Solution cause cancer?
Long-term use of Tacvido Forte Solution has been associated with an increased risk of lymphoma. Certain studies have also linked the use of this medication to skin cancers or lymphoma in patients who used similar medications for extended periods. It's crucial to consult your doctor if you use Tacvido Forte Solution ointment for longer than 6 weeks, or if your eczema symptoms haven't improved or are worsening while using it.
Is Tacvido Forte Solution a steroid?
No, Tacvido Forte Solution is not a steroid. It is designed to modify the immune system. This medication is primarily used in treating eczema, particularly atopic dermatitis. A benefit of using Tacvido Forte Solution is that it does not cause skin thinning (atrophy) or other steroid-related side effects.
