Is Intake Of Tacrolimus Harmful During Pregnancy?
hi,I have got small white spots on my back, shoulder, waist and legs. When i consulted with skin specialists, they have diagnosed the disease as vitiligo. I have been prescribed Tacrolimus ointment 0.1% and flutivate ointment. It has just been a couple of days that i have been using them. Through internet browsing i got to know that it takes time to be healed. However, what is stressing me is if these are harmful for pregnancy. I am 28 years old and we are thinking of conceiving. How safe are these ointments???
