Efficort 0.127% Cream 30g

Efficort 0.127% Cream is a topical corticosteroid, with hydrocortisone aceponate as its active ingredient, formulated for use directly on the skin. If you're new to this cream, you're probably wondering what to expect from it — it's applied as a thin layer to affected areas and is generally well tolerated, with most people experiencing little to no discomfort.

Some individuals do notice mild application-site reactions such as burning, itching, redness, or a stinging sensation, particularly during the first few uses. It's meant for short-term, external use only, and shouldn't be applied to broken skin, open wounds, or under airtight dressings unless your doctor specifically advises it.

Because it's a corticosteroid, it's worth checking in with your doctor or pharmacist about the right duration of use for your skin, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering it for a child.

The typical recommended use is a thin application to the affected skin once daily, for a duration specified by your doctor, as prolonged or excessive use of topical corticosteroids can increase the risk of side effects.

Always follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding how long to continue treatment, rather than using it for longer than advised.

• Burning or stinging sensation at the application site
• Itching
• Redness or irritation
• Skin dryness
• Thinning of the skin (with prolonged use)
• Stretch marks or skin striae (with extended use over large areas)
• Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles)
• Changes in skin pigmentation (uncommon)
• Allergic contact dermatitis (uncommon)
• Visible small blood vessels or bruising (rare, with long-term use)

Store the cream below 30°C, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, with the cap or tube securely closed after each use.

Keep out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use.
• Apply only a thin layer to clean, dry skin.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
• Do not use under airtight or waterproof dressings unless advised by your doctor.
• Store below 30°C, away from heat and moisture.
• Do not use for longer than the duration recommended by your doctor.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation worsens or persists.

Efficort 0.127% Cream is for external use on the skin only and should never be swallowed or applied near the eyes or mucous membranes. Clean and dry the affected area first, then apply a thin layer evenly and gently, generally once daily or as directed by your doctor.

Efficort 0.127% Cream generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened.

Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and outer packaging before use.

Active Ingredient: Hydrocortisone Aceponate – a topical corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to hydrocortisone aceponate or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Bacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections, as this cream does not treat these conditions and may worsen them
• Active tuberculosis of the skin or herpes infections affecting the eyes, lips, or genital area
• Not to be used to treat acne
• Not recommended for external feminine itching if vaginal discharge is present, or for anal itching if bleeding is present
• Use during pregnancy is generally avoided unless specifically advised by a doctor, given the potential for fetal risk

As this is a topical corticosteroid, significant interactions with oral medications or food are uncommon due to limited systemic absorption. However, using other topical medicines, creams, or corticosteroids on the same area at the same time may affect how well Efficort works or increase the risk of skin irritation.

It's best to inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other topical products you're using.
