About Locoid®:
Locoid Lipocream® (hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1%) Cream is indicated for the relief of the
inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Locoid
Lipocream® is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of
the components of the preparation. Prolonged use may produce reversible HPA axis
suppression. Its use causes local adverse reactions, including burning, itching, irritation,
and dryness.
Locoid® Lotion (hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1%) is indicated for the topical treatment of
mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months of age and older. Reversible HPA
axis suppression may occur, with the potential for corticosteroid insufficiency.
Consider periodic evaluations for HPA axis suppression if applied to large surface areas
or used under occlusion.
Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may also include manifestations of Cushing’s
syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to
systemic toxicity due to their large skin surface-to-body-mass ratios. Physicians should
initiate appropriate therapy if concomitant skin infection develop and discontinue use if
irritation develops.
