TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM

How TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM Works

• TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM is a specialized medication derived from vitamin D₃, placing it within the antipsoriatics drug class. Its primary function is to address the accelerated skin cell growth characteristic of psoriasis. Psoriasis manifests as scaling and inflammation of the skin due to this rapid cell turnover.
• The active component of TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM interacts with vitamin D receptors found in keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in the epidermis (outer layer of skin). This interaction mirrors the natural action of vitamin D3, allowing the ointment to influence cellular behavior.
• By binding to these receptors, TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM helps regulate the growth and maturation of skin cells. In psoriasis, this regulation is crucial to slow down the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes, thus reducing the formation of psoriatic plaques (thick, scaly patches).
• Ultimately, TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM helps restore a more balanced and healthy skin environment by controlling the abnormal cell growth that underlies the symptoms of psoriasis. Consistent application as directed can lead to a noticeable reduction in scaling, itching, and inflammation associated with the condition.

Most side effects are temporary and resolve as your body adapts to the medication. If any side effects persist or cause concern, please consult your doctor.

• TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM is prescribed to manage psoriasis, a skin condition characterized by red, flaky, and itchy patches.

• Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after applying TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM. This helps prevent the spread of infection and ensures that the ointment is applied to a clean surface.
• Apply a thin layer of TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM to the affected area once daily, preferably in the evening before going to bed. Applying it at night allows the medication to work while you sleep, maximizing its effectiveness.
• If your doctor has advised you to use TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM on your face, exercise caution to avoid contact with your eyes. If the ointment accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.
• If you are using a moisturizer in addition to TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM, apply the moisturizer first and allow it to be fully absorbed by your skin before applying the ointment. This ensures that each medication can work effectively.
• If you are undergoing UV treatment concurrently with TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM, schedule the UV radiation for the morning and apply the ointment at bedtime. This separation helps optimize the benefits of both treatments.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of high calcium levels in your blood (hypercalcemia) or if your body has difficulty processing calcium. These conditions can affect how TACALSIS 4MCG OINTMENT 20 GM works and may require adjustments to your treatment plan.
• Disclose to your doctor all other medications or skin preparations you are currently using to treat psoriasis. Certain combinations of medications can interact and affect the effectiveness of your treatment. Providing a complete list of your medications helps your doctor make informed decisions about your care.
