Hovid Neo-Cortisone 1% Cream 15g

Hovid Neo-Cortisone 1% Cream contains hydrocortisone, an active ingredient belonging to the mild topical corticosteroid class of medications. It's formulated as a light cream base intended for short-term application to small areas of skin. Because it's a steroid-based cream, possible side effects include mild burning or stinging on application, skin thinning with prolonged use, localised redness, or, less commonly, changes in skin colour at the treated site. It's generally meant for short courses rather than continuous long-term use on the same area. If you're unsure how long you can safely use it or whether it's suitable for a particular part of the body, such as the face, your pharmacist can guide you based on the product labelling.

A thin layer is generally applied to the affected area once or twice daily, for a duration guided by the product packaging or your doctor's advice. Avoid applying more frequently or for longer than recommended, as this increases the risk of skin-related side effects.

• Mild burning or stinging on application
• Skin thinning with prolonged use
• Localised redness or irritation
• Changes in skin colour at the treated area
• Dryness or peeling of the skin
• Increased hair growth at the application site (uncommon)
• Rare allergic skin reaction

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube or jar tightly closed after use and out of reach of children.

• Apply only a thin layer — more cream does not mean faster results.
• Avoid using continuously on the same area for extended periods.
• Do not apply to broken, infected, or actively inflamed skin without medical advice.
• Wash your hands after application unless treating the hands.
• Keep the container tightly closed and stored away from heat.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area of clean, dry skin, gently rubbing it in until absorbed. This is typically done 1 to 2 times a day, or as directed by your doctor or the product packaging. Wash your hands before and after application unless the hands are the treated area.

Unopened, this cream typically remains stable for around 24 to 36 months from the manufacturing date shown on the packaging. Once opened, it is best used within the period stated on the label, and the expiry date should not be exceeded.

The active ingredient is hydrocortisone, present at a concentration of 1% in the cream base.

Hovid Neo-Cortisone 1% Cream should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone or any of the cream's other ingredients. It should not be applied to untreated skin infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal), broken skin, or acne, as it may worsen these conditions.

As a topical, low-strength steroid cream, systemic interactions with other medicines are uncommon when used as directed on small areas. There are no known food interactions. If you are using other topical products on the same area, space them apart and inform your pharmacist to avoid reducing each product's effectiveness.
