Westcort Information:

Westcort 0.2% (Hydrocortisone Valerate) cream or ointment is a corticosteroid used to reduce itching, redness, and swelling associated with many skin conditions. Westcort Cream or Westcort Ointment is available in two different pack sizes, 15 gram tube or a 60 gram tube. Westcort requires a prescription from your physician.

Westcort Side Effects:

Like many corticosteroids, Westcort cream or ointment may cause the skin to thin and discolour. This is usually dependant on the length of use. Westcort may also cause to sting, a rash, dry skin, itching, burning, redness, or swelling not present before using this medicine. However, for the vast majority of people, Westcort is a relatively safe drug and can be very effective in managing mild to moderate, temporary skin conditions. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
