About Cortrima Cream
Cortrima Cream belongs to a group of medications called ‘corticosteroids’ used in the treatment of various inflammatory skin conditions. This medicine is used in the treatment of skin diseases like dermatitis (skin inflammation), sub-acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, eczema, dermatoses (skin lesions), and other inflammatory conditions.
Cortrima Cream contains ‘Triamcinolone,’ which belongs to the class of ‘corticosteroids’. It is an anti-inflammatory agent and immunosuppressant that controls inflammation by acting on the immune system. It prevents the release of chemicals that cause inflammation. This effect helps in reducing swelling, pain and discomfort.
Cortrima Cream is for topical (skin) use only. Your doctor will advise the appropriate use of Cortrima Cream that suits your infection. Common side effects of Cortrima Cream include itching, dryness, irritation, redness and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
Cortrima Cream should be avoided if you are allergic to it. Please do not use it more often or for a longer time than your doctor prescribed; also, do not stop the medication abruptly. Notify your doctor if you have any other skin infections or have undergone surgery. Also, inform your doctor if you develop any skin infections while using this medicine. Cortrima Cream weakens your immune system, so stay away from people who are sick. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using this medicine.

Drug Warnings
Do not use Cortrima Cream if you are allergic to it or other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you have any serious illness or infection. This medicine weakens your immune system, making you more prone to infections. Prolonged use of steroid-containing medicines leads to skin sensitization and the development of resistant organisms. Do not cover the affected areas with occlusive dressings while using Cortrima Cream. Avoid applying Cortrima Cream on sunburns, lesions, blisters, and open wounds. Topical usage of corticosteroids (Triamcinolone) in pregnant women and nursing mothers should be used with caution under a doctor's supervision.
