hydrocortisone butyrate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Locoid is a medium-strength cortisone drug ( glucocorticoid ), which counteracts inflammation and has an antipruritic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Locoid is used to treat acute and\u00a0chronic\u00a0eczema\u00a0and\u00a0psoriasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is used to treat adults, children, and infants over 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Locoid cutaneous solution<\/em> is also used for inflammation of the ear canal (external otitis ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using Locoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use it on children under 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children usually need a shorter treatment time than adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Long-term treatment in children under 12 years of age should be avoided if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children have an increased risk of side effects when using cortisone drugs on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diapers can act as a cover bandage which can increase Locoid uptake into the skin and thus increase the risk of\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pregnancy<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a risk that Locoid affects the fetus and should therefore only be used if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risks to the baby. The doctor will assess this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Breast-feeding<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid can be used during breastfeeding, but to avoid the baby accidentally getting the medicine in the mouth, it should not be used directly on the breasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid does not affect the ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid\u00a0cream\u00a0contains cetostearyl alcohol which may cause local skin reactions (eg contact dermatitis) as well as propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E216) and butyl parahydroxybenzoate which may cause\u00a0an allergic reaction\u00a0(possibly delayed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adults and children<\/p>\n\n\n\n A thin and even layer is applied 1-2 times daily on affected skin areas. The treatment is gradually reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In case of inflammation in the ear canal, a Locoid cutaneous solution is<\/em> dropped into the ear according to the doctor’s prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hands should be washed after each use unless Locoid is used to treat the hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular daily use for longer than four weeks is not recommended for children. The treatment time should not exceed 7 days in infants. When the skin problems have improved, the number of coats should be reduced and treated in the shortest possible time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use of different forms of medicine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid\u00a0cream<\/em>: exfoliating skin diseases<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid\u00a0ointment<\/em>: dry, scaly skin diseases<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid\u00a0cutaneous\u00a0solution<\/em>: skin diseases in hairy regions<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Has been reported (occurs in an unknown number of users):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not store above 25 \u00b0 C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid cream<\/em> should be stored in protection against the cold and must not be frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use this medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the carton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid\u00a0cream<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0ointment<\/em>: Opened tube should be used within 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid\u00a0cutaneous\u00a0solution<\/em>: The opened bottle should be used within 8 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It may be a good idea to note the date when the tube\/bottle is opened on the carton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines no longer required. These measures will help to protect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid cream: 30 g, 50 g, and 100 g tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid ointment: 30 g and 100 g tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locoid\u00a0cutaneous\u00a0solution: 30 ml, 100 ml, and 250 ml plastic bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all pack sizes may be marketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marketing Authorisation Holder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n CHEPLAPHARM Arzneimittel GmbH<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ziegelhof 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n 17489 Greifswald<\/p>\n\n\n\n Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manufacturer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Temmler Italia SRL, Locoid is a medium-strength cortisone drug ( glucocorticoid ), which counteracts inflammation and has an antipruritic effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2200,15579],"tags":[16175,16187,16171,16181,16174,16182,16186,16185,16173,16172,16183,16184],"class_list":["post-16891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-medicines","category-l","tag-benefits-of-hydrocortisone-butyrate","tag-benefits-of-locoid","tag-hydrocortisone-butyrate","tag-hydrocortisone-butyrate-cream","tag-hydrocortisone-butyrate-side-effects","tag-locoid","tag-locoid-cream","tag-locoid-side-effects","tag-what-hydrocortisone-butyrate-is-used-for","tag-what-is-hydrocortisone-butyrate","tag-what-is-locoid","tag-what-locoid-is-used-for"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16891"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16938,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16891\/revisions\/16938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What you need to know before using Locoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
