THERAPEUTIC RATIONALE

TAKZEMA tablets and ointment are the non-steroidal remedy for eczema. Melia azadirachta and Tinospora cordifolia modulate immune and inflammatory response by regulation of leukocytes function and reduction of cytokines. Curcuma longa protects the normal keratinocytes and thereby strengthens the epidermal barrier function. Rubia cordifolia suppresses the proinflammatory cytokines. Berberis aristata helps in wound healing and also exhibits antimicrobial activity to prevent secondary infections. Emblica officinalis is a potent antioxidant, which protects dermal tissues from damaging effects of free radicals.
