Tacrefite Eye Ointment

Tacrefite Eye Ointment is used to treat allergic eye inflammations. It relieves symptoms like eye-watering, itching, redness and irritation by suppressing the immune cell response.

Tacrefite Eye Ointment contains Tacrolimus, which works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals by specific immune cells (T lymphocytes).

In some cases, Tacrefite Eye Ointment may cause side effects such as foreign body sensation in the eye, burning sensation, and blurred vision. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tacrefite Eye Ointment may cause blurred vision; therefore, drive only if you have clear vision. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to prevent any side effects/interactions.
