Mericon Industries’ 1% hydrocortisone lotion is one of the strongest formulas you can buy without a prescription. While many over-the-counter creams often range from 0.1% to 0.5%, our 1% formula is an effective treatment for itchy skin conditions and rashes caused by poisonous plants.

Hydrocortisone relieves the symptoms of inflammation, including swelling, itching, and redness. Corticosteroids are related to naturally occurring hormones like those produced by the adrenal gland. As a powerful topical steroid lotion, you can use 1% hydrocortisone for poison ivy and serious skin rashes.
