Hydrocortisone+Miconazole drug is a combination of hydrocortisone, a steroid; and miconazole, an antifungal drug.
Hydrocortisone is a drug that is considered as a corticosteroid medicine or a ‘steroid’. It works by damping down the immune response of the body, thereby reducing pain, itchiness, and swelling. This is also used to replace hormones in people who don’t have enough cortisol (natural stress hormone). Hydrocortisone can treat many health problems. It comes in many different forms, such as skin creams for the body and scalp, ointments, foams or suppositories, injectables, and tablets. The form of the drug that you are going to use will depend on your medical condition. This drug can be also used to treat ulcerative colitis, an illness where the inner lining of the bowel becomes sore and ulcerated. Hydrocortisone rectal foam may be prescribed by the doctor to help relieve symptoms.
Miconazole is an antifungal drug that is used to treat ringworm, pityriasis versicolor, and infections of the skin or vagina. You may experience some itchiness or irritation in the area where it is applied, as a common side effect. It is believed to be safe for babies when used by pregnant women. This drug is included in the imidazole family of medications that work by decreasing the ability of fungi to make ergosterol, which is an important part of its cell membrane.
