Overview Cortidac 1% Cream

Topical corticosteroid cream, Cortidac 1%, effectively manages mild to moderate inflammatory skin conditions like eczema. Its mechanism involves suppressing inflammation-causing agents, thereby alleviating swelling, redness, and itching. For external use only, apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry affected skin as directed by your physician. Avoid application to broken or damaged skin. Consistent use optimizes therapeutic effects. Prevent contact with eyes, nose, and mouth; rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. Unless advised by your doctor, avoid occlusive dressings. Generally well-tolerated, minor side effects like burning, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site may occur, typically resolving spontaneously. Persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical attention. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical counsel prior to use.

Cortidac 1% Cream is not for facial, axillary (armpit), or groin use, nor areas with tissue wasting. Physician consultation is required; facial application, if exceptionally prescribed, should be limited to five days maximum.
Cortidac 1% Cream is a steroid, not an antimicrobial or antifungal medication. Because it weakens the immune system, it shouldn't be applied to infections. Bacterial infections may worsen under dressings applied after using Cortidac 1% Cream. If an infection develops or spreads, discontinue use and consult a doctor immediately for appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
Clean and dry the affected skin area before applying Cortidac 1% Cream. Gently massage the cream in completely, avoiding contact with your eyes or mouth. If accidental eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water and consult your doctor if irritation persists.
Continue using Cortidac 1% Cream until the prescribed course is finished, even if your skin improves. Symptoms may return if treatment is stopped prematurely.
Avoid applying Cortidac 1% Cream to your face. Use only as directed by your doctor, and for the prescribed duration. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage, as this can increase absorption and side effects. This medication is for your use only; do not share it with others.
