Details

Corticosteroids for dermatological use.

Description

Hydrocortisone is a dermocorticoid with potent glucocorticoid activity. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, and antiallergic properties.

It belongs to the class of glucocorticosteroid diesters — lipophilic substances capable of penetrating deep into the skin.

Hydrocortisone aceponate is rapidly absorbed from the dog's skin surface, accumulates within the skin, and exerts a local anti-inflammatory effect even at low doses.

It is excreted from the body through urine and feces.

Indications

Treatment of inflammatory and allergic dermatoses in dogs.

Contraindications

Do not use in the presence of skin ulcers.

Side effects

In rare cases, erythema may occur.
