Description
Mediven‑S ointment 15 g is a mild topical corticosteroid containing Hydrocortisone. It is specifically indicated for the short‑term management of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and non‑infected rashes. By suppressing the release of inflammatory mediators, it rapidly reduces redness, swelling and itching, helping to restore skin comfort and appearance. The occlusive ointment base provides an emollient effect, making it especially suitable for dry, scaly or thickened lesions. This over‑the‑counter (OTC) preparation is intended for external use only and should not be applied to the face, broken skin or open wounds unless directed by a healthcare professional.
