Hydrocortisone is a topical corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and itching in various skin conditions.

Eczema: alleviates redness, swelling and pruritus in mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Dermatitis: decreases inflammation and discomfort in contact and allergic dermatitis. Insect bites: relieves local swelling, redness and itching caused by insect stings. Sunburn: soothes erythema and pain associated with mild solar skin injury.

Topical hydrocortisone may cause local and systemic adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation or burning sensation at the application site. - Dryness or peeling of the treated skin. - Redness or mild erythema. - Pruritus or itching. - Folliculitis or acneiform eruptions. - Minor stinging or tingling.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Skin atrophy or thinning with prolonged use. - Telangiectasia (visible small blood vessels). - Contact allergic dermatitis. - Systemic absorption leading to adrenal suppression. - Secondary infection of the skin. - Hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth).

When using Linola Akut, consider the following safety measures. - Avoid prolonged continuous use: limit application to the shortest effective period. - Do not apply to infected, ulcerated or broken skin unless directed by a clinician. - Use the smallest amount necessary to cover the affected area. - Avoid occlusive dressings unless specifically prescribed. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Topical hydrocortisone can interact with other agents, affecting absorption or systemic effects.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Systemic corticosteroids: may increase risk of systemic glucocorticoid side effects. - Immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclosporine): heightened risk of infection.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antifungal agents (e.g., ketoconazole): may increase percutaneous absorption. - NSAID topical preparations: potential for increased local irritation. - Photosensitizing drugs (e.g., tetracyclines): may enhance photosensitivity reactions. - Occlusive bandages combined with other topical steroids: risk of excessive absorption.
