Description

Cortopin 1% Hydrocortisone Cream

Cortopin 1% w/w Cream is a smooth white cream for application to the skin only. It contains hydrocortisone which belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. Cortopin 1% w/w Cream is used to reduce inflammation in a variety of inflammatory skin conditions, such as: 

  • mild to moderate eczema
  • dermatitis caused by irritants or allergens
  • insect bite reactions

Hydrocortisone should not be confused with anabolic steroids, used by some body builders and taken as tablets or injections.

Directions for use:

For application to the surface of the skin only:

  1.  Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
  2.  Apply the cream sparingly to the affected area, once or twice a day for a maximum of 7 days. Massage the cream gently into the affected area to help absorption into the skin.
  3. Once applied, do not cover the area with a dressing or plaster. If the condition has not improved after 7 days, or worsens, consult your doctor.
