Question 1

I was prescribed tacroz 0.1 tacrolimus for my psoriasis, but it's really pricey at 671rs for just 20g. I came across a couple of cheaper alternatives online, crolimate ointment and tacoseal 0.1. Can I use one of these, or is there another low-cost option you can suggest? I have psoriasis over most of my skin, and the expensive medicine is hard to keep up with. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

Both Crolimate and Tacoseal could be suitable alternatives to Tacroz since they contain the same active ingredient. However, its important to check with your doctor before switching to make sure these alternatives are effective and safe for your condition. In the meantime, other treatments like topical steroids, coal tar, or calcipotriene might also be good options if you're looking for more affordable choices.
Your doctor will help guide you on the best path forward based on the severity and extent of your psoriasis.
