Properties
Aquax-H ® Cream contains a corticosteroid and quickly suppresses symptoms of certain skin conditions such as itching, redness and scaling. Corticosteroids don't generally remove the cause of the symptoms. The Aquax-H ® Cream base ensures that the skin condition becomes less moist.
Indications
Aquax-H ® Cream can be used for the treatment of superficial skin conditions where itching, redness and scaling are often present.
Contraindications
Do not use Aquax-H ® Cream
- If your skin condition is caused by infections with bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts or parasites as these could either be made worse or become unnoticeable.
- In acne even if the skin is red.
- For wounds or scaly skin (ichthyosis).
- If your skin condition is the result of earlier treatment with corticosteroids such as inflammation of the skin around the mouth or thin skin possibly with streaks and vulnerable blood vessels.
- For childhood rash on the foot sole.
- If you are hypersensitive to hydrocortisone 17-butyrate or to any of the excipients (uncommon).
Precautions
Aquax-H ®Cream contains certain excipients like Cetearyl Alcohol that in rare cases can cause hypersensitivity reactions ( itching, red spots) of the skin.
