Westcort Ointment is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. It is specifically indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses in adult patients.
The ointment contains hydrocortisone valerate, a medium-strength corticosteroid that reduces the swelling, itching, and redness associated with these types of skin conditions. This mechanism is pivotal in addressing the symptoms and manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
