Anacort Cream

Refer to the pack for complete information.

Topical corticosteroid cream used to relieve inflammation and itching in steroid-responsive skin conditions (e.g., eczema, dermatitis, allergic rashes).

It reduces the release of inflammatory chemicals in the skin, thereby decreasing redness, swelling, and itching. It also suppresses immune activity locally at the affected area.

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 1–2 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Use the minimum amount for the shortest duration; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin unless advised. Wash hands before and after application.

Burning or stinging, itching, dryness, redness, skin irritation, thinning of skin, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation

Do not use on fungal, viral, or bacterial skin infections unless treated appropriately and prescribed. Avoid prolonged use, large-area application, or occlusive dressings unless advised; may cause skin thinning and systemic absorption, especially in children. Avoid use on face/groin/armpits unless prescribed. Stop and consult a doctor if severe irritation, worsening, or signs of infection occur.

No major interactions expected with topical use; concomitant use with other topical steroids/irritants may increase irritation. Occlusive dressings can increase absorption and side effects.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from heat and direct light. Keep cap tightly closed and out of reach of children.
