About hydrocortisone butyrate

Hydrocortisone butyrate is classed as a potent topical corticosteroid. Topical corticosteroids are also referred to as topical steroids. Topical steroids are used in addition to moisturisers (emollients) for treating inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. A topical steroid is used when patches of एक्जिमा या डर्मेटाइटिस flare up. Hydrocortisone butyrate relieves the symptoms of a flare-up by reducing inflammation, itching and redness. It is not a cure for the condition, but it will help to relieve the symptoms. Short courses of hydrocortisone butyrate may also be prescribed for the treatment of psoriasis for small areas such as the scalp, soles of the feet, or palms of the hands.

Hydrocortisone butyrate is available in a number of different preparations. It is likely you will be prescribed a cream if the affected areas of your skin are moist or weeping, an ointment if your skin is dry, or a lotion for larger or hairy areas of skin. It is also available as an application for the scalp. Hydrocortisone butyrate is not generally suitable for children, although short courses of up to two weeks may occasionally be prescribed for a child by a skin specialist doctor.

It is important that you do not confuse hydrocortisone butyrate preparations with creams and ointments simply called 'hydrocortisone'. These are milder topical steroid preparations and can be bought from pharmacies. Hydrocortisone butyrate is a much more potent steroid and is only available on prescription. There is more information about the milder preparations in a leaflet called हल्की सूजन वाली त्वचा की स्थितियों के लिए हाइड्रोकोर्टिसोन.

Before using hydrocortisone butyrate

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using hydrocortisone butyrate it is important that your doctor knows:

• यदि आपकी त्वचा के किसी हिस्से में संक्रमण है।.

• यदि आपको रोजेशिया या मुँहासे हैं।.

• यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या स्तनपान करा रही हैं।.

• यदि आपको कभी त्वचा की तैयारी से एलर्जी की प्रतिक्रिया हुई है।.

How to use hydrocortisone butyrate

• तैयारी का उपयोग शुरू करने से पहले, पैक के अंदर से निर्माता की मुद्रित जानकारी पत्रक पढ़ें। यह आपको टॉपिकल स्टेरॉयड्स के बारे में अधिक जानकारी देगा और उनके उपयोग से आपको होने वाले दुष्प्रभावों की पूरी सूची प्रदान करेगा।.

• Apply a small amount to the areas of skin which are inflamed. Then gently rub it into the skin until it has disappeared. If you are using a scalp application, apply it to the affected area of scalp, rub it in gently, and then allow the area to dry again naturally.

• Do not use hydrocortisone butyrate on any open sores or areas of infected skin.

• आपको जितनी मात्रा में टॉपिकल स्टेरॉयड लगाना चाहिए, उसे आमतौर पर फिंगरटिप यूनिट्स (FTUs) द्वारा मापा जाता है। एक FTU वह मात्रा है जो एक वयस्क की उंगली के सिरे से लेकर पहली क्रीज तक क्रीम या मरहम के रूप में निकाली जाती है। एक मार्गदर्शक के रूप में, एक FTU वयस्क के हाथ के आकार के दोगुने क्षेत्र को कवर करने के लिए पर्याप्त होता है। आपका डॉक्टर आपको यह बताएगा कि प्रभावित त्वचा के क्षेत्र को कवर करने के लिए आपको कितने FTUs की आवश्यकता होगी।.

• Your doctor will tell you how often to apply hydrocortisone butyrate. It should not be applied more than twice a day, and once a day is often sufficient.

• यदि आप एक से अधिक सामयिक कॉर्टिकोस्टेरॉइड का उपयोग कर रहे हैं, तो सुनिश्चित करें कि आपको पता है कि प्रत्येक का उपयोग कब और कहाँ करना है। यदि आप अनिश्चित हैं, तो अपने डॉक्टर से जाँच करें या अपने फार्मासिस्ट से आगे की सलाह लें।.

• After you have applied hydrocortisone butyrate, remember to wash your hands (unless your hands are the treated area).

• If you are using hydrocortisone butyrate for psoriasis, make sure you follow your doctor's instructions carefully. It should not be used for large areas of psoriasis or for long periods of time, as these can cause your symptoms to flare up again afterwards.

अपने उपचार से अधिकतम लाभ प्राप्त करना

• If you are using a moisturiser along with this preparation, apply the moisturiser first. Then wait 10-15 minutes before applying hydrocortisone butyrate. This allows time for the moisturiser to be absorbed before the topical corticosteroid is applied. Your skin should be moist but not slippery when you apply hydrocortisone butyrate.

• Do not use hydrocortisone butyrate on your face unless a skin specialist doctor has said you should. If you have been told to use it on your face, be careful not to get any preparation near your eyes and do not use it for longer periods of time than you have been advised.

• जब तक आपके डॉक्टर द्वारा ऐसा करने की सलाह न दी जाए, उपचारित क्षेत्र पर पट्टी या ड्रेसिंग न लगाएं, क्योंकि इससे तैयारी का अवशोषण बढ़ जाएगा और दुष्प्रभावों का जोखिम बढ़ जाएगा।.

• Continue to use hydrocortisone butyrate until the flare-up has gone, and then stop it. A course of treatment for 7-14 days is often sufficient. If your symptoms have not improved after this time (or if they get worse), speak again with your doctor for further advice. Topical corticosteroids like hydrocortisone butyrate should not be used for long periods of time or on large areas of the body.

• After you finish using hydrocortisone butyrate, continue to use your moisturiser every day. This will help to prevent a further flare-up. Your doctor may also prescribe a less potent steroid cream for you to use when needed.

Can hydrocortisone butyrate cause problems?

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. You can reduce the risk of side-effects from hydrocortisone butyrate, by applying the preparation thinly, no more than twice a day, and to the affected areas only.

Speak with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice if you experience any other side-effects which you think may be due to hydrocortisone butyrate.
