Contraindications:

Protopic ointment is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to tacrolimus or any other component of the ointment.

Dosage and administration:

Adult

Protopic (Tacrolimus) ointment 0.03% and 0.1%:

Apply a thin layer of Protopic ointment to the affected skin twice daily. The minimum amount should be rubbed in gently and completely to control signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis. Stop using when signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis resolve.

If signs and symptoms (e.g. itch, rash, and redness) do not improve within 6 weeks, patients should be re-examined by their healthcare provider to confirm the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis.

Continuous long-term use of topical calcineurin inhibitors, including Protopic ointment should be avoided, and application should be limited to areas of involvement with atopic dermatitis.

The safety of Tacrolimus (Protopic) under occlusion, which may promote systemic exposure, has not been evaluated. This medication should not be used with occlusive dressings.

Use in specific populations:

Pregnancy

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of topically administered tacrolimus in pregnant women. The experience with Protopic ointment when used by pregnant women is too limited to permit assessment of the safety of its use during pregnancy.

Nursing mothers

Although systemic absorption of tacrolimus following topical applications of Protopic topical ointment is minimal relative to systemic administration, it is known that tacrolimus is excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from tacrolimus, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

Pediatric use

Only Protopic (Tacrolimus) ointment 0.03% is recommended for use as a second-line therapy for short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in non-immunocompromised children 2 to 15 years of age who have failed to respond adequately to other topical prescription treatments for atopic dermatitis, or when those treatments are not advisable.

Geriatric use

Four hundred and four (404) patients >= 65 years old received Tacrolimus (Protopic) ointment in phase 3 studies. The adverse event profile for these patients was consistent with that for other adult patients.
