Sorias Cream

Sorias Cream is a hydrocortisone cream made by Unicorn India and supplied as a strip/box of 10 tubes. Each tube contains hydrocortisone as labelled in a topical cream base. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid used on the skin to relieve inflammation, redness, itching, and irritation from allergy-related rashes and other steroid-responsive skin conditions.

How it works: Hydrocortisone works by calming the skin’s immune response, which helps reduce swelling, redness, and itching. In cream form, it spreads easily over irritated skin so the medicine can act directly where it is applied.

Because Sorias Cream is the only strength/form of this brand listed here, it should be used exactly as directed by a clinician for the area being treated. As a cream, it is usually chosen when a smooth, non-greasy topical steroid is preferred for mildly to moderately inflamed skin, and a doctor may select it based on the rash location, skin sensitivity, and how much treatment is needed.

• Itchy allergic skin rash
• Eczema flare-ups
• Contact dermatitis
• Mild skin inflammation
• Redness and swelling from irritation

• Wash and dry the affected skin before applying Sorias Cream.
• Apply a thin layer only to the affected area and rub in gently.
• Use it exactly as prescribed; do not use more often or for longer than instructed.
• Avoid getting the cream in your eyes, mouth, nose, or on broken skin unless your doctor told you to.
• Wash your hands after applying unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Do not cover the area with tight bandages or occlusive dressings unless a clinician tells you to.

Sorias Cream provides hydrocortisone as labelled in each tube, so the exact amount applied depends on the size of the skin area and the prescriber’s directions. It may be used once or several times daily depending on the condition, but the maximum amount per day should be set by the doctor because overuse can thin the skin and increase side effects.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Hydrocortisone may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching or irritation at the application site
• Dry skin
• Temporary redness
• Skin peeling or tenderness with repeated use
• Thinning of the skin with longer use, especially if used more than directed

• Use only on the skin; do not swallow Sorias Cream.
• Do not use on large areas, under wraps, or for long periods unless your doctor says so.
• Use extra caution on the face, groin, armpits, and in children because the skin absorbs more steroid there.
• Tell your doctor if the rash is infected, oozing, or getting worse instead of better.
• Stop and seek advice if irritation becomes severe or the skin thins noticeably.
• Do not use if you are allergic to hydrocortisone or any ingredient in the cream.
• Follow the exact duration your clinician recommends, even if symptoms improve quickly.

• Other topical steroids used on the same area
• Other skin products that irritate or dry the skin, such as harsh acne treatments
• Occlusive dressings or wraps that increase absorption
• Topical medicines applied to the same spot unless prescribed together

Store Sorias Cream tightly closed at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.
