Locoid Lotion (hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1%) is indicated for the topical treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months of age and older. Please see full Prescribing Information. Reversible HPA axis suppression may occur with the potential for corticosteroid insufficiency. Consider periodic evaluations for HPA axis suppression if applied to large surface areas or used under occlusion. Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may also include manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity due to their large skin-surface-to-body-mass ratios. Initiate appropriate therapy if concomitant skin infection develop. Discontinue use if irritation develops.
