Re: Are there any pharmacists on lif?
Cortisone (steroid) skin preparations are a large family of drugs all similar to hydrocortisone. The medicines in this family differ primarily by the strength of each compound. Hydrocortisone is a natural chemical made by the body and is one of the weakest members of this group. In general steroid ointments are stronger than steroid creams because the medicine penetrates better when in an ointment form. Examples of these medications include: Aristocort, clobetasol, Cortisone 5 & 10, Diprolene, Elocon, fluocinolone, Halog, hydrocortisone, Hytone, Lidex, Psorcon, Temovate, triamcinolone, Ultravate, and Valisone. There are many other examples.
