How does Hc45 Hydrocortisone Cream work?
Hc45 cream contains 1% w/w of the effective active ingredient Hydrocortisone Acetate. This substance works by rapidly soothing the irritation which occurs after your skin has been exposed to or come into contact with something that irritates it. As the cream changes the way your body reacts to these irritants, this reduces the irritation and eases symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling, leaving your skin feeling soothed and calm.

Yes, you can buy Hc45 cream online without a prescription from Medical Specialists® Pharmacy. The medication is a non-prescription ‘Pharmacy item’, meaning you will just need to answer a short health questionnaire that one of our Pharmacists will check to determine your suitability for the cream, or the suitability of the person it is intended for.
