Description
Product Introduction:
Pacroma Cream is a topical treatment used for managing atopic dermatitis (eczema). It works by suppressing the activity of certain immune cells that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling of the skin. By reducing this inflammation, Pacroma Cream helps alleviate the itching and discomfort associated with eczema, improving the appearance of rashes and skin irritation.
This cream is for external use only and is generally applied 2-4 times a day to the affected areas, or as advised by your doctor. It should be applied evenly and gently to the skin until absorbed. The treated area should not be covered with bandages or plasters unless directed by your doctor. If there is no improvement after two weeks of use, or if the condition worsens, consult your doctor.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:
- Pimecrolimus (1% w/w)
