Uses

Tendrone is prescribed to relieve itching, redness, and swelling associated with skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and allergic reactions. It is also used to alleviate discomfort caused by insect bites, poison ivy, and other minor skin irritations.

Mechanism of Action

Hydrocortisone, the active ingredient in Tendrone, works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness in the affected area. It belongs to a class of medications known as corticosteroids, which have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties when applied topically to the skin.

Side Effects

Serious side effects are rare but may include skin thinning, stretch marks, or changes in skin color. If you experience severe skin irritation, allergic reactions, or any unexpected side effects, seek medical attention promptly.

Drug Interactions

Tendrone may interact with other medications, particularly other topical corticosteroids or skin products containing similar ingredients. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and skin care products you are using before starting Tendrone to avoid potential interactions.

Before using Tendrone, inform your healthcare provider about any existing skin conditions, infections, or allergies. Avoid using this medication on the face, underarms, or groin area unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. Long-term or excessive use of Tendrone may lead to skin thinning and other adverse effects.
