About this item
Cortizone-10 (Hydrocortisone 1%) Cream is a clinically proven topical treatment that targets the source of skin irritation to provide rapid relief. Whether dealing with seasonal allergies, dry skin flares, or minor rashes, this cream acts quickly to reduce redness and swelling. It is a trusted choice for medicine cabinets worldwide due to its balance of high-potency medicine and skin-soothing moisturizers.
Dosage and Administration
- Proper Use: Apply a small, pea-sized amount to the affected area.
- Frequency: Rub in gently up to 3 to 4 times daily.
- Best Time: Apply after washing and drying the affected area for better absorption.
- Missed Dose: Apply as soon as you remember; do not double-apply to "catch up."
Storage and Disposal
Store at room temperature ($20\text{°C}$ to $25\text{°C}$). Protect from heat and direct light. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Dispose of via pharmacy take-back programs to protect the environment.
Quick Tips
- A little goes a long way; applying a thick layer does not make it work faster.
- Do not cover the treated area with airtight bandages (occlusive dressings) unless told by a doctor, as this increases medication absorption into the bloodstream.
- Clean the affected area with mild, fragrance-free soap before application.
- Avoid using on the face or underarms for extended periods due to thinner skin in those areas.
- For insect bites, applying immediately after the sting can significantly reduce the histamine response.
Additional Information
Cortizone-10 (Hydrocortisone 1%) Cream is often formulated with 7 moisturizers and 2 vitamins to ensure the skin barrier remains intact while the steroid works on the inflammation.
Contraindications
Do not use Cortizone-10 (Hydrocortisone 1%) Cream if you:
- Are allergic to hydrocortisone or any other corticosteroids.
- Have an untreated bacterial, viral (like herpes or chickenpox), or fungal skin infection.
- Age Restrictions: Do not use on children under 2 years of age unless directed by a doctor.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional before use.
Side Effects
- Common: Mild stinging, burning, or peeling at the application site.
- Serious: Skin thinning (atrophy), blistering, or signs of systemic absorption (weight gain, puffiness). Seek medical attention if these occur.
Precautions and Warnings
- External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and nose.
- Duration: Do not use for longer than 7 days without consulting a physician.
- Underlying Conditions: If the condition worsens or symptoms persist, stop use and see a doctor.
- Pack Size: 1 oz (28g) or 2 oz (56g) tubes.
- Concentration: 1% Hydrocortisone USP.
