Flucort-H Skin Cream

Product Introduction

Flucort-H Skin Cream is a topical medication primarily used to treat a variety of skin conditions. It is formulated with two active ingredients: Fluocinolone acetonide and Hydroquinone. Fluocinolone acetonide is a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with various dermatological conditions. Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent used to treat hyperpigmentation. The combination of these two ingredients makes Flucort-H effective in managing inflammatory skin conditions and hyperpigmentation.

The cream is typically prescribed by dermatologists and is available in a convenient tube form for easy application. It is designed for external use only and should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional. The dual action of reducing inflammation and lightening hyperpigmented areas makes Flucort-H a versatile treatment option for patients dealing with complex skin issues.
