Vaniza HC Gel is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat skin infections like eczema, dermatitis, and allergies. It provides relief from itchy and irritated skin. Skin infection occurs when a foreign microbe like fungus or bacteria invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Vaniza HC Gel is composed of Hydrocortisone and Dimethicone. Hydrocortisone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. On the other hand, Dimethicone is a moisturizing agent that treats dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and prevents skin irritation. It is an emollient that forms an oily layer on the top of the skin to trap moisture in the skin.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Common side effects of Vaniza HC Gel include burning and stinging sensation at the application site, dryness, skin thinning, redness, and irritation. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If these side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.

Vaniza HC Gel is for topical (for skin) use only. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth while using Vaniza HC Gel. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the cream in these areas. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes on the affected areas. It is also recommended to avoid tanning booths and sunlamps since your skin may become more sensitive. Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to Vaniza HC Gel or any other medications. If you have any skin cuts or sores, inform your doctor before using Vaniza HC Gel. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Vaniza HC Gel.
