Hoe Hydrocort 1% Ointment 15g

Hoe Hydrocort 1% Ointment is a mild-potency topical corticosteroid containing hydrocortisone 1% w/w as its active ingredient. It is used to relieve redness, itching, swelling, and discomfort associated with various inflammatory skin conditions. The ointment is applied as a thin layer to the affected area, usually 2 to 4 times daily, and consistent application at approximately the same times each day helps provide the best symptom relief. Because hydrocortisone is one of the milder topical steroids available, it is generally well tolerated, although some people may experience burning, itching, dryness, or irritation at the application site. This medicine is intended for short-term use, and medical advice should be sought if symptoms persist for more than 7 days, worsen, or return soon after treatment is stopped. Children absorb topical corticosteroids more readily than adults, so use in young children should only occur under medical guidance.

For adults and children aged 2 years and older, apply to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition. This medicine is not recommended for children under 2 years of age without a doctor’s advice. Treatment should generally not exceed 7 days unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.

Because Hoe Hydrocort is a mild topical corticosteroid, significant interactions with oral medicines or food are uncommon when used as directed on limited areas of skin. However, using other topical medicines on the same area may increase the risk of skin irritation, so inform your doctor or pharmacist about any creams, ointments, or medicated skin products you are using.
