DATA SHEET
SKINCALM
_HYDROCORTISONE 1% W/W _
PRESENTATION
A white, smooth cream with the odour of chlorocresol.
USES
_ACTIONS _
When applied topically hydrocortisone acetate is primarily effective
because
of its anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive actions.
_PHARMACOKINETICS _
Hydrocortisone is absorbed through the skin, particularly in denuded
areas.
Hydrocortisone is metabolised in the liver and most body tissues to
hydrogenated and degraded forms such as tetrahydrocortisone and
tetrahydrocortisol. These are excreted in the urine, mainly conjugated
as
glucuronides, together with a very small proportion of unchanged
hydrocortisone.
When administered by topical application, particularly under an
occlusive
dressing or when the skin is broken, sufficient corticosteroid may be
absorbed
to give systemic effects.
INDICATIONS
For contact dermatitis from allergies or irritants and for skin
reactions to insect
bites.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Use sparingly on a small area, once or twice a day, for a maximum of 7
days.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Skin lesions caused by infection with viruses (eg herpes, chickenpox),
perioral
dermatitis, rosacea, fungal skin infections (eg candidiasis, tinea)
and
ulcerative conditions. Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Should hypersensitivity occur, application should be stopped
immediately.
This preparation is not to be used in the eye, as there is a potential
risk of
glaucoma and cataract.
Co-existing infection may require specific antibiotics or withdrawal
of therapy.
Babies and children up to four years should not be treated with dermal
steroids for longer than three weeks. In infants the napkin may act as
an
occlusive dressing and increase absorption. Adrenal suppression is
more
likely to occur in infants and children. Do not use in children under
2 years of
age without medical advice.
Systemic absorption resulting in adrenal suppression may occur
especially
under occlusion with weekly doses of over 50 g, 30 g and 15 g of
respectively
mild to
