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

Who Shouldn't Take Cortic-ND?

- Known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone, neomycin, or any other components of the formulation

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.

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.
