Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Cortic-ND Work?

Cortic-ND works through a combination of its two active ingredients:

  • Hydrocortisone: Reduces inflammation and itching by suppressing the immune response in the affected skin.
  • Neomycin: Fights bacterial infections by inhibiting the production of proteins necessary for bacterial growth.

What is Cortic-ND Used For?

  • Eczema
  • Dermatitis
  • Psoriasis
  • Bacterial skin infections
  • Other inflammatory skin conditions with a bacterial component


Common Dosages

Cortic-ND is available by prescription in the form of topical ointment. It is not classified as a controlled substance.

  • Hydrocortisone 1% and Neomycin 0.5%


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

Apply a thin layer of Cortic-ND to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid applying the ointment to large areas of the body for extended periods, especially in children.


Who Shouldn't Take Cortic-ND?

Cortic-ND should not be used in individuals with:

  • Known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone, neomycin, or any other components of the formulation
  • Viral or fungal skin infections
  • Tuberculosis of the skin


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Avoid using Cortic-ND on broken skin, open wounds, or in areas with active viral or fungal infections.
  • Wash your hands before and after applying the ointment, unless the ointment is being applied to your hands.
  • Do not use occlusive dressings (bandages or coverings) over the treated area unless directed by your healthcare provider, as this may increase absorption of the medication.
  • If you experience persistent irritation or signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider.


Side Effects of Cortic-ND

Common Side Effects

  • Mild burning or stinging at the application site
  • Dryness or redness of the skin
  • Itching


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Skin thinning (atrophy)
  • Stretch marks (striae)
  • Increased risk of secondary skin infections
  • Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)


Risks and Warnings of Cortic-ND

Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to neomycin, leading to worsening skin conditions. Discontinue use if you experience a rash, swelling, or other signs of an allergic reaction.

Systemic Absorption: Long-term or extensive use of hydrocortisone can lead to systemic absorption, particularly in children or when used with occlusive dressings, which may cause adrenal suppression.

Infection Risk: Avoid using Cortic-ND on viral, fungal, or untreated bacterial infections, as it may worsen the infection or mask its symptoms.

Interactions with Cortic-ND

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other topical medications: When using multiple topical treatments, avoid applying them to the same area at the same time unless directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Occlusive dressings: Using dressings that cover the skin can increase the absorption of hydrocortisone and should only be used under medical supervision.

Alternatives to Cortic-ND

  • Triamcinolone Acetonide: A stronger topical corticosteroid for more severe inflammatory skin conditions.
  • Betamethasone: Another potent corticosteroid used for inflammatory skin disorders.
  • Mupirocin: An alternative topical antibiotic for bacterial skin infections.
