Drug Interactions

**Fusidic Acid:** Works better when combined with antistaphylococcal penicillins, but does not work well when taken with ciprofloxacin.

**Hydrocortisone:** The body gets rid of hydrocortisone faster if you take medicines like phenobarbital, phenytoin, or rifampin. Medicines such as troleandomycin and ketoconazole can slow down its breakdown. Taking high doses of aspirin for a long time might be cleared from the body faster. Hydrocortisone can also make blood thinners (anticoagulants) either more or less effective.

Contraindications

Topical hydrocortisone should not be used if you have viral, tuberculosis, or fungal skin infections. It is also not suitable for people who are allergic to any of its ingredients.
