The following medicines may increase the level of tacrolimus in the blood, which could increase the risk of side effects.
Not so sure about tacrolimus. Look at the law offices looking for people treated with tacrolimus creams. Still some concern out there about serious side effects. Don't forsee approval anytime soon in U.S.
As a side note, have your doctor look for demodex follicularis. Some research indicates that they can worsen lid margin disease.
i wouldnt lower the tacrolimus dose further
i would be extremely cautious about using it until more data is available especially since its purported effects on tacrolimus and cyclosporine metabolism are extreme. i am quite confident that there will be clinical trials coming down the road extremely soon.
After this diagnosis I was told to continue with my Gabapentin {3x a day @300mg} but I was also told that a possible Botox shot in the surface area of my left calf might also end this pain. Can anyone tell me what possible effects the Botox shot might have on me such as adverse reactions etc. What does it do to the nerve that is probably exposed in my left calf that is causing this electrical shock symptoms and can the shot of Botox solve this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
I didn’t bother reporting the adverse reaction since the cream’s listed side effects include permanent discoloration and skin burns/bubbling/lesions/etc.....sounds like the manufacturer is well aware of these problems....I just wish the Dr would have warmed me. Looks like I better get used to living with the damage since I’ve already been tested for fungal infections.
the only thing that works is desonide lotion. I am so sad to find out that using this long term has bad side effects.
My Question is:
Is there anything I can do in combination with the desonide?
I read on about.com that using a corticosteroid should only be used to reduced the redness and then use dandruff shampoo for maintenance , but like I said the dandruff shampoo is not working, it is actually making things more red and it slightly burns.
Is there an alternative to Desonide?
I don't see any reason you can't tell me how much you take/have taken. That's not medical advice.
The specialist reviewed all of the options with us - cyclosporine, pilocarpine or tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said that very rarely has she seen any dog respond to cyclosporine after not responding to tacrolimus. She also said that because our dog doesn't have a dry, goopy nose, that pilocarpine wouldn't be a first choice. She recommended a mix of tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said sirolimus is new. I have not been able to find anything about this drug on the internet.
Oral antifungals are not without side effects and should be used with caution after consulting a dermatologist.

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic disease which effects usually the genital areas. The exact cause is not known and can be too active immune system and hormone problems. Some people have also proposed a genetic and hereditary basis of disease.
Treatment consists of strong cortisone cream or ointment on the skin. Other treatment options include Retinoids, vitamin A-like drugs, Tacrolimus ointment and Ultraviolet light treatment.
I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.
Many AD's have side effects that affect the libido, guess it applies to both sex es. As far as I know all AD's have this drastic effect . Hopefully you'll find one that's OK for you . Good luck.

Hi. I am on week 60/72, second round of treatment. I was really really sick after shot for first few months and then this resolved and became tolerable at least. I now find that I am having these same significant side effects later in tx. This didn't happen last round, but I went 48 then. Anyone else have this happen?
