Treats and prevents moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in adults

HOW LOPROLIF 0.1% WORKS:

Tacrolimus binds to an intracellular protein called FK binding protein-12. The tacrolimus-FK binding protein-12 complex inhibits the activity of calcineurin (a calcium-dependent phosphatase transmitting chemical), which in turn, reduces the activity of T-lymphocytes in the immune system. As a result, the T-cells fail to release their cytokines that cause inflammation, redness and itching.
