Hydrocortisone Acetate
An ester form of hydrocortisone with slower release characteristics, used topically for inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis, and as intra-articular injections for joint inflammation in conditions like bursitis or arthritis. The acetate ester reduces systemic absorption from topical and joint applications, concentrating the anti-inflammatory effect locally. It is available in creams, suppositories, and injectable formulations.
