Westcort Cream (active ingredient: hydrocortisone 17 valerate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Westcort Cream is used to relieve inflammation, itching, and redness associated with various dermatologic conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
  2. Allergic Reactions: It is also indicated for the treatment of allergic reactions affecting the skin.

Westcort Cream belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids, which work by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response in the affected area.

Use Westcort Cream on the skin only. However, do not use it on the face, groin, or underarms unless directed to do so by your doctor. Follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions when using Westcort Cream. Typically, you should:

  1. Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.
  2. Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area and gently rub it in until it is absorbed.
  3. Use Westcort Cream only on the affected skin, and avoid getting it in contact with eyes, nose, or mouth.
  4. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream.
  5. Do not use the cream on healthy skin, and do not use it for longer than the prescribed period (usually not more than 2-4 weeks).
  6. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Westcort Cream is not suitable for everyone. Westcort is a medium-strength corticosteroid and is applied topically to the affected area only. Follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider and not use Westcort for longer than prescribed.
