Ala Scalp
Overview
What is Ala Scalp?
The topical corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic steroids used a anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agents. Hydrocortisone is a member of this class. Chemically hydrocortisone is pregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, 11, 17, 21-trihydroxy, (11ß)-. Its structural formula is:
Each mL of ALA-SCALP
(Hydrocortisone Lotion USP, 2%) contains 20 mg hydrocortisone USP in a vehicle of isopropyl alcohol, polysorbate 20, purified water, propylene glycol, polysorbate 20, and benzalkonium chloride.

Sorry No records found.
What should I talk to my health care provider before I take Ala Scalp?
Sorry No records found
How should I use Ala Scalp?
Hydrocortisone Lotion is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
Topical corticosteroids are generally applied to the affected area as a thin film from two to four times daily depending on the severity of the condition.
Occlusive dressings may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. If an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.
What interacts with Ala Scalp?
Hydrocortisone Lotion is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.
What are the warnings of Ala Scalp?

What are the precautions of Ala Scalp?
General
Conditions which augment systemic absorption include the application of the more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the addition of occlusive dressings.
Therefore, patients receiving a large dose of a potent topical steroid applied to a large surface area or under an occlusive dressing should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression by using the urinary free cortisol and ACTH stimulation tests. 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 steroid.
Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of the drug. Infrequently, signs and symptoms of steroid withdrawal may occur, requiring supplemental systemic corticosteroids.
Children may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity (See).
If irritation develops, topical corticosteroids should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
In the presence of dermatological infections, the use of an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be instituted. If a favorable response does not occur promptly, the corticosteroid should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled.
What are the side effects of Ala Scalp?
The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids, but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: b

What should I look out for while using Ala Scalp?
Hydrocortisone Lotion is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.
What might happen if I take too much Ala Scalp?
Topically applied corticosteroids can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to produce systemic effects (See ).

Clinical Information
Chemical Structure
No Image foundClinical Pharmacology
Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions.The mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of the topical corticosteroids is unclear. Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. There is some evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man.
