Drug Warnings

If you are allergic to Hydrocortisone or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using H-Cort Cream. Do not use H-Cort Cream in more than prescribed doses, or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with H-Cort Cream catches fire and burns easily. Do not apply H-Cort Cream on the broken or infected skin.

Side Effects of H-Cort Cream

Burning or stinging sensation at the site of application

Directions for Use

H-Cort Cream is only for external use. Wash your hands before and after applying H-Cort Cream. Take a small amount of H-Cort Cream and apply it as a thin layer on the affected area of the skin as advised by the doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

H-Cort Cream contains Hydrocortisone, a steroid that is used to treat swelling, irritation, itching and redness, caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema. H-Cort Cream acts inside the skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.

Uses of H-Cort Cream

Swelling, redness, and itching caused by certain skin problems such as dermatitis, eczema or insect bite reactions 

About H-Cort Cream

H-Cort Cream belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids used to provide relief from swelling, redness, itching, dryness, inflammation and discomfort of certain skin conditions such as dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin) and insect bite reactions. The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

H-Cort Cream contains Hydrocortisone, a steroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
