Nutracort cream is used to relieve itching and irritation of the skin. The main active ingredient of the cream is hydrocortisone, which, thanks to its therapeutic properties, reduces inflammation, redness and swelling of the skin. Each component of the cream, with its unique properties, creates an effective remedy for the care of problem skin.
Nutracort crema que contiene
Hydrocortisone, the main ingredient in Nutracort, at a concentration of 1%, is a mild corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching and redness of the skin.
- Hydrocortisone blocks the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and discomfort.
- Purified water is used as a solvent for the other components of the cream.
- Propylene glycol is a moisturizer that helps the skin retain moisture and makes the cream smoother and easier to apply.
- Stabilizers and emulsifiers, such as cetearyl alcohol, provide a uniform consistency to the cream and help to blend the water and fat components.
- Preservatives, such as methylparaben - prevent microorganisms from multiplying in the cream, thereby extending its shelf life.
- Lanolin or other mild moisturizers help soften and soothe the skin, and improve the texture of the cream.
Each of these ingredients plays a role in the effectiveness and safety of Nutracort cream. Hydrocortisone actively reduces inflammation, while excipients facilitate the penetration of the active ingredient into the skin, help keep it stable, and prevent product spoilage.
Nutracort crema para que sirve
The cream has effective therapeutic properties and is widely used for various skin problems.
Properties of Nutracort hidrocortisona cream
Anti-inflammatory action: Nutracort reduces inflammation by blocking the action of substances in the body that cause inflammation. This helps reduce the redness, swelling and inflammation that often accompany skin conditions.
Reducing itching and irritation: Nutracort crema blocks certain chemical processes in the skin that cause itching and irritation. This provides quick relief and helps prevent scratching of the skin, which can exacerbate these problems.
Reducing swelling: The cream helps to reduce swelling by constricting blood vessels in the area of application. This reduces blood flow to the affected area and consequently reduces swelling.
Main areas of application
Eczema: Hydrocortisone in the cream helps to reduce the symptoms caused by this chronic condition, such as itching, redness and flaking of the skin, providing relief.
Psoriasis: Nutracort-hydrocortisone can be used to reduce the red, flaky patches caused by this condition while reducing inflammation and itching at the affected areas.
Allergic Reactions: Nutracort is often prescribed for skin allergies that manifest as a rash, itching, or redness. This can be a reaction to insect bites or contact with irritants, such as chemicals or plants. It can also be used for dermatitis, which can occur due to multiple factors. Any kind of rashes caused by various allergic reactions can be relieved with Nutracort hidrocortisona cream, reducing inflammation and making the skin less sensitive when exposed to external factors.
Correct application
The amount of cream, and the regularity of use, can vary depending on the condition to be treated and the individual characteristics of the patient.
Eczema and Psoriasis: To treat eczema and psoriasis, it is generally recommended to apply a thin layer of cream to the affected areas of the skin 2-3 times a day. This will help reduce inflammation and itching. The duration of the application should be limited and should not exceed a few weeks.
Allergic Reactions and Dermatitis: For allergic reactions and dermatitis, the cream should be applied 1–3 times a day to clean and dry skin until symptoms begin to diminish. It is important not to use the cream too often or in too large quantities to avoid overloading the skin with active ingredients.
Insect bites: To relieve itching and swelling after insect bites, it is sufficient to apply the cream 1–2 times a day on the affected areas. As a rule, the duration of use of the cream in such cases is short - a few days is enough.
General recommendations for use
- Always start with a small amount of cream in order to check the reaction of the skin to the drug.
- Apply the cream only to the affected areas of the skin, avoiding healthy areas.
- Do not cover treated areas with tight bandages or allow prolonged contact with tissues, as this may increase the absorption of hydrocortisone.
- Discontinue use of the cream and consult a doctor if symptoms do not improve or worsen after several days of use.
Contraindications
Infectious skin conditions: If you have viral skin infections such as herpes or chicken pox, bacterial infections such as impetigo, or fungal infections such as candidiasis, the use of hydrocortisone cream may worsen the situation.
Open wounds and trophic ulcers: Do not apply the cream to open wounds or ulcers, as it may slow the healing process and increase the risk of infection.
Age and Special Conditions: The cream is generally not recommended for use by children under two years of age without medical supervision. Also, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before using this cream, as hydrocortisone can penetrate the skin and potentially affect the baby.
Side Effects
Topical reactions: Burning, itching, or irritation at the site of application of the cream. These may occur with initial application and may disappear as the skin adapts to the product.
Skin thinning: With prolonged use, the cream may cause thinning of the skin, loss of elasticity, stretch marks or redness.
Increased hair growth: In some cases, there may be an increase in hair growth at the site of application of the cream.
Hormonal Disorders: Very rarely, when applied to large areas of skin or under occlusive dressings, hydrocortisone may be absorbed into the bloodstream and cause systemic effects such as Cushing's syndrome.
Interaction of Nutracort cream with other medicines
Other Care Products: If you are using other creams, ointments, or lotions, it is important to observe the interval between the application of the different products. It is usually recommended to wait about 30 minutes between applications so that each medication can be absorbed and does not affect the effect of the other.
Occlusive dressings: It is not recommended to use tight or impermeable dressings over the areas where the cream is applied, as this may increase the absorption of hydrocortisone and increase the risk of side effects.
Oral corticosteroids: If you are taking systemic corticosteroids, such as prednisone, using Nutracort cream in combination with them may increase the effect of corticosteroids, increasing the risk of side effects. This is especially important to consider if you have diabetes, osteoprosis or high blood pressure.
Immunosuppressants: Taking medications that suppress the immune system may cause a negative skin reaction to Nutracort hydrocortisone treatment and increase the risk of infections.
Live vaccines: Use of the cream during the administration of live vaccines may reduce their effectiveness or alter the immune response. Always inform your doctor of any topical steroids used before receiving a vaccine.
To summarize the above, Nutracort-hydrocortisone cream is quite effective in relieving symptoms, but its use should not be long-term and should be used with caution to avoid possible side effects.
