ATC code: D07AB02
Hydrocortisone butyrate is a potent topical corticosteroid.
The topical activity has been demonstrated in vivo using the McKenzie-Stoughton test.
Topical administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animals can cause abnormalities of foetal development including cleft palate and intra-uterine growth retardation. There may therefore be a very small risk of such effects in the human foetus.
Theoretically, there is the possibility that if maternal systemic absorption occurred the infant’s adrenal function could be affected.
