View allI 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?
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.

I've been using Dremz ultra cream for post-inflammatory pigmentation for about two weeks now. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using it for a longer period of time, and how would I know when to stop? Also, are there any side effects if I suddenly stop using it? Could you explain all this to me in detail?
Dremz Ultra cream, containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide, is typically used for 2-3 months to address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); using it for an extended period may lead to skin irritation, dryness, or increased sensitivity; to avoid rebound hyperpigmentation, gradual tapering of the cream is recommended when stopping, such as reducing frequency or switching to a maintenance product, and side effects from sudden cessation are unlikely, but may include mild skin irritation or recurrence of PIH.

I'm curious about which tablet would be better for skin whitening, Glutone 1000 or Glutone C. Can you help me understand the difference between the two and which one might be more effective? I'm a bit confused about which option to go for.
Glutone 1000 contains L-Glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant that helps in skin lightening and anti-aging. It is recommended for overall skin health and whitening. The usual dosage is 1 tablet daily. Glutone C, on the other hand, contains L-Glutathione along with Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps in enhancing the absorption of Glutathione in the body, leading to better results in skin whitening and brightening. The usual dosage is 1 tablet daily. If you are looking for a more potent formula with added benefits for skin health, Glutone C would be the better choice.
