Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Hydrocortisone 0.6%/Salicylic Acid 0.48% Topical Solution is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent anti-inflammatory properties of hydrocortisone with the exfoliating capabilities of salicylic acid, providing a comprehensive treatment solution for various dermatological issues.

Hydrocortisone, a type of corticosteroid, is known for its ability to alleviate inflammation and itching. It works by suppressing the body's immune response, thereby reducing swelling, redness, and itching associated with various skin conditions. On the other hand, salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that promotes the shedding of the outer layer of the skin. It aids in the removal of dead skin cells, preventing the clogging of pores and promoting the growth of new skin cells.

Together, hydrocortisone and salicylic acid create a powerful combination that not only reduces inflammation and itching but also promotes skin renewal. This makes the Hydrocortisone 0.6%/Salicylic Acid 0.48% Topical Solution particularly effective in treating conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne.

This topical solution is intended for external application to the skin. It provides a convenient and versatile means of delivering medication directly to the affected area, allowing for targeted treatment. This formulation is safe and effective for use in adults and children over the age of 12. However, it is crucial to follow the directions of your healthcare provider when using this medication to ensure its efficacy and safety.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Hydrocortisone 0.6%/Salicylic Acid 0.48% Topical Solution, we encourage you to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary information and guidance to ensure that you are using the medication correctly and effectively.
