What is Hydrocortisone?

Hydrocortisone, the active ingredient in Mildison Lipid, is a corticosteroid presented as a topical formulation for skin application. It is used to reduce inflammation and relieve itching in various dermatologic conditions such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis, primarily in children and adults, and improves quality of life.

GNH USA supplies Mildison Lipid as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides regulatory‑approved batches to meet global demand.

What is Hydrocortisone used for?

Hydrocortisone is a topical corticosteroid that modulates inflammatory pathways in skin disorders.

Eczema: reduces redness, swelling and itching associated with the condition. Atopic dermatitis: alleviates chronic inflammation and pruritus, improving skin barrier function. Contact dermatitis: diminishes acute inflammatory response caused by irritants or allergens. Inflammatory skin disorders: provides anti‑inflammatory relief for various dermatoses where corticosteroid therapy is indicated.

What are the side effects of Hydrocortisone?

Topical hydrocortisone may cause local and, rarely, systemic adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Burning or stinging sensation at the application site. - Mild skin irritation or erythema. - Pruritus or itching. - Dryness or flaking of the skin. - Folliculitis or acneiform eruptions. - Temporary worsening of dermatitis.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Skin atrophy or thinning with prolonged use. - Hypopigmentation or depigmentation of treated areas. - Allergic contact dermatitis or severe hypersensitivity reaction. - Systemic absorption leading to adrenal suppression, especially with extensive application. - Secondary bacterial, fungal or viral infection of the skin. - Development of telangiectasia or striae.

What precautions apply to Hydrocortisone?

When using Mildison Lipid, several precautions should be observed to minimize risks.

Avoid use on infected or ulcerated skin: risk of systemic absorption and worsening infection. Do not apply to large surface areas for prolonged periods: may increase systemic exposure. Limit use in children under 2 years: heightened susceptibility to systemic effects. Discontinue if severe irritation, rash, or allergic reaction occurs: seek medical advice. Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

What does Hydrocortisone interact with?

Hydrocortisone can interact with other agents applied to the skin or taken systemically.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent systemic corticosteroids: additive systemic glucocorticoid effects. - Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): may increase local drug concentration. - Immunosuppressive biologics: heightened risk of infection.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - NSAIDs applied to the same area: may increase local irritation. - Skin moisturizers or occlusive dressings: can enhance absorption. - Antifungal creams containing azoles: potential for increased local effect.

Frequently asked questions

What is Mildison Lipid used for?+
Mildison Lipid is a topical preparation containing hydrocortisone that is employed to relieve inflammation, redness, swelling and itching associated with eczema, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis and other inflammatory skin disorders.
How does hydrocortisone work?+
Hydrocortisone binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors in skin cells, altering gene transcription. This reduces the production of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and suppresses immune‑cell activity, resulting in decreased local inflammation.
What is the usual dose of Mildison Lipid?+
The appropriate amount and frequency of application are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the severity of the condition, the patient’s age, and the area of skin being treated. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
Is Mildison Lipid safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for topical hydrocortisone in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.
How do I order Mildison Lipid from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Mildison Lipid compare with other topical steroids?+
Mildison Lipid contains hydrocortisone, a low‑ to medium‑potency corticosteroid. Compared with higher‑potency agents such as clobetasol, it carries a lower risk of skin atrophy and systemic effects, making it suitable for mild to moderate inflammation and for use on larger skin areas or in sensitive regions.
How should Mildison Lipid be stored?+
Store at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.
How is Mildison Lipid applied?+
Apply a thin layer of the cream or ointment to the affected skin area, gently rubbing it in until it disappears. Wash hands before and after application, and avoid contact with eyes, mouth or open wounds unless directed by a clinician.
What are the most serious risks associated with Mildison Lipid?+
Serious risks include skin atrophy, hypopigmentation, allergic reactions, secondary infections, and systemic effects such as adrenal suppression when used over large areas or for prolonged periods. Patients should monitor for these signs and seek medical attention if they occur.
Who should not use Mildison Lipid?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone or any excipients, those with untreated bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections, and patients requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy for other conditions should avoid using this product unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.
