What is Hydrocortisone Ointment?

Hydrocortisone ointments, creams and lotions contain a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid or 'steroid'. Corticosteroids are not the same as anabolic steroids.

Hydrocortisone ointments are used on the skin to treat swelling, itching and irritation. They can help with skin problems such as: 

• Psoriasis
• Eczema
• Contact dermatitis
• Prickly heat rash
• Nappy rash
• Insect bites and stings

Who is this ointment suitable for

Most adults and children can use hydrocortisone skin ointments.

However, don't use hydrocortisone skin products on children under ten years old unless their doctor recommends it.

Hydrocortisone skin ointment isn't suitable for some people. 

Tell your pharmacist or doctor before starting the medicine if you:

• have had an allergic reaction to hydrocortisone or any other medicine in the past
• have a skin infection (including eye infections)
• are trying to get pregnant, are already pregnant, or you're breastfeeding

Cream, ointment or lotion?

There are different types of hydrocortisone skin products. Creams are the most common, but there are also hydrocortisone ointments and lotions.

As a general rule:

• Hydrocortisone cream is better for skin which is moist and weepy with clear or yellow fluid.
• Hydrocortisone ointment is thicker and greasier - it's better for dry or flaky areas of skin.
• Hydrocortisone lotion is a liquid - it's useful for treating the scalp and large or hairy areas of skin.

How to apply Hydrocortisone Ointment

• Spread the ointment in a thin layer over the area of irritated skin.
• Carefully smooth it into your skin in the direction the hair grows until it disappears.
• Be careful not to get the ointment into broken skin or cuts.
• Wash your hands afterwards (unless it's your hands that you're treating).
• Use the ointment on all the irritated skin, not just the worst areas.

What are Breathe Right Natural Nasal Strips?

Open Your Nose - 9/10 people said that they could breathe better instantly when using Breathe Right strips.

Drug-Free - Breathe Right strips are drug-free.

Improved Sleep Quality - Breathe Right strips improve sleep quality in 90 percent of snorers. Breathe Right nasal strips open the nose, allowing more natural breathing to help reduce snoring.

Undisturbed Rest - Breathe right strips are gentle on skin, easy to remove, and comfortable to wear.

What are the causes of nasal congestion?

Colds - When you have a cold, the lining of your nasal cavities swells with excess fluid, making it difficult to breathe.

Allergies - When allergens are present, your immune system responds by releasing chemicals that create inflammation in your nose. This can cause nasal congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose.

Deviated Septum - People who suffer from a deviated septum are generally all too familiar with breathing problems. The septum is the cartilage that separates the nostrils.

How do Breathe Right Natural Nasal Strips work?

Breathe Right nasal strips are made of flexible, spring-like bands that fit right above the flare of the nostrils. A sticky adhesive is used to lift the sides of the nose and open the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe for a more restful night of sleep.

How to use Breathe Right Natural Nasal Strips

• Before Applying - Wash and dry your nose thoroughly. Dirt, oils, moisturisers and makeup can weaken the adhesive.
• Place - Remove the protective liner and place the strip centred along the width of your nose. The tabs on the strip should rest right at the start of the flaring part of each nostril.
• Apply - Press and hold down the strip until the strip is secure on your nose.
