Pharmacokinetics:

Suction: after application to the skin hydrocortisone easily reaches the stratum corneum of the skin. Slightly absorbed into the systemic circulation and can have systemic effects. The absorption of hydrocortisone increases with use on extensive areas of skin, when applied on the skin or in the skin folds and under the application of an occlusive bandage for a long time. The absorption of hydrocortisone from the epidermis in children is more pronounced than in adults. Can accumulate in the cells of the Horny layer of the skin.

Metabolism: biotransformiroetsa directly in the epidermis, and absorbirowawrzayasa part is in the liver. The products of metabolism of butyric acid and hydrocortisone are eliminated quickly from the body. Due to the absence of Halogens in the formula and the characteristics of the kinetics significantly reduced the risk of local and systemic side effects.

Glucocorticosteroids for external use. Anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antipruritic, antiexudative effect, reduces the permeability of capillaries.
