Hydrocortisone is a topical corticosteroid used to manage inflammatory skin conditions.

Dermatitis: Reduces redness, itching and swelling associated with inflammatory skin lesions. Eczema: Controls flare‑ups by diminishing local immune activity and skin irritation. Psoriasis: Softens plaques and alleviates scaling and discomfort in affected areas.

Topical hydrocortisone may cause local and systemic reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Mild burning or stinging at the application site - Skin dryness or flaking - Pruritus (itching) - Erythema or mild redness - Folliculitis or acneiform eruptions - Temporary hyperpigmentation

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Skin atrophy or thinning with prolonged use - Telangiectasia (visible small blood vessels) - Secondary bacterial, fungal or viral infection - Allergic contact dermatitis - Systemic adrenal suppression (rare with extensive use) - Delayed wound healing or ulceration

Before using Muni, consider the following safety measures.

Avoid use on infected or ulcerated skin: May worsen infection. Do not apply under occlusive dressings: Increases systemic absorption. Limit treatment area and duration: Reduces risk of skin atrophy. Consult a physician for pediatric use: Children are more susceptible to side effects. Discontinue if severe irritation or allergic reaction occurs. Store at room temperature: Keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Hydrocortisone can interact with other agents applied to the skin.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent systemic corticosteroids: May amplify systemic glucocorticoid effects. - Occlusive dressings or bandages: Significantly increase percutaneous absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Other topical immunosuppressants (e.g., tacrolimus): May enhance local immunosuppression. - Topical antibiotics or antifungals: Potential for altered skin flora. - Antiviral creams for herpes: May reduce antiviral efficacy if skin barrier is compromised.
