Description

HC45 Hydrocortisone Cream is an effective solution for relieving itching, irritation, and inflammation caused by insect bites, mild to moderate eczema, detergent-related skin issues, nickel allergies, plant allergies, and exposure to strong chemicals.

This cream works by modifying the body's inflammatory response, reducing inflammation, and providing relief from itching and irritation for up to 12 hours. It also aids in promoting skin healing.

 

Warnings

  • Use this medicine only on your skin to cover the affected area. If your condition worsens during use, consult a pharmacist or doctor—you may be experiencing an allergic reaction, have an infection, or need a different treatment.
  • If your condition returns within two weeks after stopping treatment, do not restart using the cream/ointment without seeking medical advice. If redness extends beyond the initial treatment area and you experience a burning sensation, seek medical advice before restarting treatment.
  • Do not cover with a dressing.
  •  Do not use if allergic to any ingredients. Contains Cetostearyl Alcohol, which may cause local skin reactions (e.g., contact dermatitis).
  • Do not use on the eyes, face, anal or genital areas, broken skin, or infected skin (e.g., impetigo, cold sores, acne, athlete's foot, or infected bites and stings).
  • Do not use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or on children under 10 without medical advice.
  • Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.
  • Check that the tube seal is intact before first use, then remove it.

For any extra information, please contact your healthcare provider or contact us.
