Cordran SP Cream belongs to a group of medications known as glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids are a type of corticosteroid, or "steroid" for short. Although glucocorticoids have numerous effects in the body, they are used mostly for their anti-inflammatory or immune-suppressing properties. Cordran SP Cream works for most conditions by decreasing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system.
Some general considerations to keep in mind during treatment with Cordran SP Cream include the following:
- This medication is usually applied to the affected area(s) two to three times a day.
- Apply Cordran SP Cream sparingly and gently rub it in. More is not better. Only a thin film is necessary.
- If your healthcare provider recommends, you may cover the medication with a dressing or bandage, although this can increase the risk of side effects.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be used as prescribed.
