What is Acroli Ointment used for?::: Acroli Ointment is used to treat moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults who do not respond to steroids or develop side effects when using them. In atopic dermatitis, the skin?s immune system undergoes an overreaction, causing skin inflammation, leading to itchiness, redness, and dryness. Acroli Ointment acts on the abnormal immune response and alters it, thereby relieving the skin inflammation and itchiness.| Is Acroli Ointment safe?::: Compared to other immunosuppressing medicines, Acroli Ointment is a safe and effective short-term treatment for atopic dermatitis. When applied to the affected part of the skin, its absorption into the blood and body is minimal. Hence, the side effects are less compared to when taken through the oral route.| Does Acroli Ointment cause cancer?::: Long-term use of Acroli Ointment has been found to have an increased risk of lymph node tumors called lymphoma. Some studies have found that a few patients who used Acroli Ointment ointment or another similar medication developed skin cancer or lymphoma. Consult your doctor if you have to use Acroli Ointment ointment for more than 6 weeks or if your eczema symptoms have not improved or are getting worse with time during your treatment.| Is Acroli Ointment a steroid?::: No, Acroli Ointment is not a steroid. It is a medicine that modulates the working of the immune system. It is used in the treatment of eczema, most commonly in atopic dermatitis.

Acroli Ointment is an immunosuppressant. It works by suppressing the activity of certain immune cells that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) of the skin. This relieves itching and improves rashes in atopic dermatitis.
