About Texacort

What is this medication? Texacort is a brand-name topical medication that contains the active ingredient hydrocortisone, which belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It is primarily prescribed to treat various inflammatory skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and different types of dermatitis. By reducing the chemical actions in the body that cause inflammation, this medication helps to alleviate symptoms like redness, swelling, and persistent itching. This medication is commonly formulated as a topical solution, making it particularly useful for treating sensitive areas or the scalp. It works by suppressing the immune response in the localized area where it is applied, providing relief from discomfort caused by rashes or allergic reactions. Because it is a steroid, it should be used exactly as directed by a healthcare provider to avoid potential side effects such as skin thinning or irritation.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for Texacort. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Jan 8, 2026

Indications and usage
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Texacort Topical Solution 2.5% is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroids-responsive dermatoses.
Dosage and administration
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Topical corticosteroids are generally applied to the affected area as a thin film for three or 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.
Contraindications
CONTRAINDICATIONS Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.
Adverse reactions
ADVERSE REACTIONS 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: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, miliaria.
Use in pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C Corticosteroids are generally teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. The more potent corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from topically applied corticosteroids. Therefore, topical corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Drugs of this class should not be used extensively on pregnant patients, in large amounts, or for prolonged periods of time.
