Cortisporin Cream

Generic Name: Hydrocortisone/Neomycin/Polymyxin B Cream (hye-droe-KOR-ti-sone/nee-oh-MYE-sin/pol-i-MIX-in)
Brand Name: Cortisporin

Cortisporin Cream is used for:

Treating inflammation (swelling, warmth, redness, pain) due to certain skin conditions when an infection is present.

Cortisporin Cream is a combination of 2 antibiotics and a corticosteroid. The antibiotics work by slowing the growth of, or killing, sensitive bacteria. The corticosteroid reduces inflammation.

Do NOT use Cortisporin Cream if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Cortisporin Cream, to other aminoglycosides (eg, tobramycin), or to other corticosteroids (eg, prednisone)
you have a viral infection of the skin (eg, herpes simplex, vaccinia, chickenpox, shingles), tuberculosis of the skin, or a fungal skin infection
you are using Cortisporin Cream on your ear and you have a perforated ear drum

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Cortisporin Cream:

Some medical conditions may interact with Cortisporin Cream. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have any kind of skin infection, cuts, scrapes, or lessened blood flow to your skin
if you have had a recent vaccination; have measles or tuberculosis; or you have had a positive tuberculosis test

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Cortisporin Cream. Because little, if any, of Cortisporin Cream is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.
