What is Hydrocortisone?
Active Ingredients: Hydrocortisone
Hydrocortisone Cream is a topical steroidal drug used to treat skin inflammation, itching, swelling, irritation, and redness. It is used for the treatment of various conditions like insect bites, poison ivy, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, allergies, rash, and anal or outer female genital itching.
Hydrocortisone belongs to the family of medicines called corticosteroids. It works by preventing the release of chemicals that produce immune or allergic responses.
Hydrocortisone is also available as a lotion, ointment, or eye ointment. The eye ointment formulation is intended to treat inflammatory conditions of the eyes, such as those caused by conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis or nonpurulent conjunctivitis.
