Hydrocortisone Valerate
Overview
What is Hydrocortisone Valerate?
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% and hydrocortisone
valerate ointment USP, 0.2%, contain hydrocortisone valerate,
11,21-dihydroxy-17-[(1-oxopentyl)oxy]-(11β)-pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, a synthetic
corticosteroid for topical dermatologic use. The corticosteroids constitute a
class of primarily synthetic steroids used topically as anti-inflammatory and
antipruritic agents.
Chemically, hydrocortisone valerate is CHO. It has the following structural
formula:
Hydrocortisone valerate has a molecular weight of 446.58. It is a white,
crystalline solid, soluble in ethanol and methanol, sparingly soluble in
propylene glycol and insoluble in water.
Each gram of hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% contains 2 mg
hydrocortisone valerate in a hydrophilic base composed of carbomer 940, dibasic
sodium phosphate, methylparaben, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium lauryl
sulfate, steareth-2, steareth-100, stearyl alcohol and white petrolatum.
Each gram of hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% contains 2 mg
hydrocortisone valerate in a hydrophilic base composed of carbomer 934P, dibasic
sodium phosphate, methylparaben, mineral oil, propylene glycol, purified water,
sodium lauryl sulfate, steareth-2, steareth-100, stearyl alcohol and white
petrolatum.

How should I use Hydrocortisone Valerate?
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% and hydrocortisone
valerate ointment USP, 0.2% are medium potency corticosteroids indicated for the
relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid
responsive dermatoses in adult patients.
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% or hydrocortisone
valerate ointment USP, 0.2% should be applied to the affected area as a thin
film two or three times daily depending on the severity of the condition. As
with other corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control is
achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of the
diagnosis may be necessary. Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% or
hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% should not be used with occlusive
dressings unless directed by a physician. Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP,
0.2% or hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% should not be applied in the
diaper area if the patient requires diapers or plastic pants as these garments
may constitute occlusive dressing.
What interacts with Hydrocortisone Valerate?
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% and hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparations.
What are the warnings of Hydrocortisone Valerate?

What are the precautions of Hydrocortisone Valerate?
Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids can produce
reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the
potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment.
Manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria can also be
produced in some patients by systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids
while on treatment.
Patients applying a topical steroid to a large surface area or to areas under
occlusion should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression.
This may be done by using the ACTH stimulation, A.M. plasma cortisol, and
urinary free cortisol tests.
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% and hydrocortisone valerate ointment
USP, 0.2% have produced mild, reversible adrenal suppression in adult patients
when used under occlusion for 5 days, 15 grams twice a day over 25 to 60% body
surface area or when used three times a day over 20 to 30% body surface area to
treat psoriasis for 3-4 weeks.
If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the
drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent
corticosteroid. Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt upon
discontinuation of topical corticosteroids. Infrequently, signs and symptoms of
glucocorticosteroid insufficiency may occur, requiring supplemental systemic
corticosteroids. For information on systemic supplementation, see prescribing
information for these products.
Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity from
equivalent doses due to their larger skin surface to body mass ratios. (See
).
If irritation develops, hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% or
hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% should be discontinued and
appropriate therapy instituted. Allergic contact dermatitis with corticosteroids
is usually diagnosed by observing a failure to heal rather than noting a
clinical exacerbation, as with most topical products not containing
corticosteroids. Such an observation should be corroborated with appropriate
diagnostic patch testing.
If concomitant skin infections are present or develop, an appropriate
antifungal or antibacterial agent should be used. If a favorable response does
not occur promptly, use of hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% or
hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% should be discontinued until the
infection has been adequately controlled.
Patients using topical corticosteroids should receive the
following information and instructions:
The following tests may be helpful in evaluating patients for HPA
axis suppression:
Long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the
carcinogenic potential of hydrocortisone valerate. Hydrocortisone valerate cream
USP, 0.2% and hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% were shown to be
non-mutagenic in the Ames-Salmonella/Microsome Plate Test. There are no studies
which assess the effects of hydrocortisone valerate on fertility and general
reproductive performance.
Corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic in laboratory
animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. Some
corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in
laboratory animals.
Dermal embryofetal developmental studies were conducted in rabbits and rats
with hydrocortisone valerate cream, 0.2%. Hydrocortisone valerate cream, 0.2%,
was administered topically for 4 hours/day, rather than the preferred 24
hours/day, during the period of organogenesis in rats (gestational days 5-16)
and rabbits (gestational days 6-19). Topical doses of hydrocortisone valerate up
to 9 mg/kg/day (54 mg/m/day) were administered to rats
and 5 mg/kg/day (60 mg/m/day) were administered to
rabbits. In the absence of maternal toxicity, a significant increase in delayed
skeletal ossification in fetuses was noted at 9 mg/kg/day [2.5× the Maximum
Recommended Human Dose (MRHD) based on body surface area (BSA) comparisons] in
the rat study. No malformations in the fetuses were noted at 9 mg/kg/day (2.5×
MRHD based on BSA comparisons) in the rat study. Indicators of embryofetal
toxicity, significant decrease in fetal weight at 2 mg/kg/day (1× MRHD based on
BSA) and a significant increase in post-implantation loss and embryo resorption
at 5 mg/kg (3× MRHD based on BSA), were noted in the rabbit study. A significant
increase in delayed skeletal ossification in fetuses was noted at 5 mg/kg/day
(3× the MRHD based on BSA comparisons) in the rabbit study. Increased numbers of
fetal malformations (e.g., cleft palate, omphalocele and clubbed feet) were
noted at 5 mg/kg/day (3× MRHD based on BSA comparisons) in the rabbit study.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% or hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP,
0.2% should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the
potential risk to the fetus.
Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk
and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production,
or cause other untoward effects. It is not known whether topical administration
of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce
detectable quantities in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human
milk, caution should be exercised when hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2%
or hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% is administered to a nursing
woman.
Safety of this product in pediatric patients has not been
established. There is no data on adrenal suppression and/or growth
suppression.
Because of a higher ratio of skin surface area to body mass, pediatric
patients are at a greater risk than adults of HPA axis suppression and Cushing's
syndrome when they are treated with topical corticosteroids. They are therefore
also at a greater risk of adrenal insufficiency during and/or after withdrawal
of treatment. Adverse effects including striae have been reported with
inappropriate use of topical corticosteroids in infants and children. (See )
HPA axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, linear growth retardation, delayed
weight gain, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children
receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in
children include low plasma cortisol levels, and an absence of response to ACTH
stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging
fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.
Clinical studies of hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% and
hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% did not include sufficient numbers of
subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from
younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified
differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.
- This medication is to be used as directed by the physician. It is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.
- This medication should not be used for any disorder other than that for which it was prescribed.
- The treated skin area should not be bandaged, otherwise covered or wrapped, so as to be occlusive unless directed by the physician.
- Patients should report to their physician any signs of local adverse reactions.
- Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% or hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% should not be applied in the diaper areas as diapers or plastic pants may constitute occlusive dressings. (See .)
- This medication should not be used on the face, underarms, or groin areas unless directed by the physician.
- As with other corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, contact the physician.
What are the side effects of Hydrocortisone Valerate?
The following local adverse reactions have been reported with
topical corticosteroids, and they may occur more frequently with the use of
occlusive dressings. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing
order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis,
hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis,
allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin
atrophy, striae, and miliaria.
In controlled clinical studies involving pediatric patients one month to 2
years of age (n=29), the incidence of adverse experiences, regardless of
relationship to the use of hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2%, was
approximately 21%. Reported reactions included stinging (10%), eczema (7%),
fungal infection (3%), and gastrointestinal disorder (3%).
In controlled clinical studies involving pediatric patients 2 to 12 years of
age (n=153), the incidence of adverse experiences, regardless of relationship to
the use of hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2%, was approximately 10%.
Reported reactions included stinging (3%), burning skin (2%), infection (Body as
a Whole) (2%). Skin irritation, eczema, pruritus, application site reaction,
rash, rash maculopapular, and dry skin were all reported at incidences of
approximately 1%.
In controlled clinical trials, the total incidence of adverse
reactions associated with the use of hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2%
was approximately 12%. These included worsening of condition (2%), transient
itching (2%), irritation (1%) and redness (1%).
In controlled clinical studies involving pediatric atopic dermatitis patients
2 through 12 years of age (n=64), the incidence of adverse experiences was
approximately 28.1%, which is higher than that seen in adult patients. Reported
reactions included eczema (12.5%), pruritis (6%), stinging (2%), and dry skin
(2%). Patients were not specifically evaluated for signs of atrophy (thinning,
telangiectasia, erythema). No studies were performed to assess adrenal
suppression and/or growth suppression.
The following additional local adverse reactions have been reported with
topical corticosteroids, and they may occur more frequently with the use of
occlusive dressings. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing
order of occurrence: burning, dryness, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions,
hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary
infection, skin atrophy, striae, and miliaria.
What should I look out for while using Hydrocortisone Valerate?
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% and hydrocortisone

Clinical Information
Chemical Structure
No Image foundClinical Pharmacology
Like other topical corticosteroids, hydrocortisone valerate has
anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties. The mechanism
of the anti-inflammatory activity of the topical steroids, in general, is
unclear. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of
phospholipase A inhibitory proteins, collectively called
lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of
potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by
inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid. Arachidonic
acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A.
The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids
is determined by many factors including the vehicle and the integrity of the
epidermal barrier. Occlusive dressings with hydrocortisone for up to 24 hours
have not been demonstrated to increase penetration; however, occlusion of
hydrocortisone for 96 hours markedly enhances penetration. Topical
corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or
other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption.
Studies performed with hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% and
hydrocortisone valerate ointment USP, 0.2% indicate that they are in the medium
range of potency as compared with other topical corticosteroids.
