HC45 hydrocortisone acetate cream

HC45 Hydrocortisone Acetate Cream is a well-known over-the-counter topical treatment used primarily in the United Kingdom for skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and insect bites. The brand has a long history in the British pharmaceutical market, serving as a trusted name for anti-inflammatory skin relief.

Historically, HC45 was associated with the pharmaceutical division of Boots the Chemists, a staple of British healthcare retail. However, through various corporate acquisitions and restructuring within the consumer health sector, the brand came under the ownership of Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser).

Today, Reckitt, a British multinational consumer goods company, is the ultimate owner of the HC45 brand. Production is managed through Reckitt's extensive global supply chain, which includes manufacturing facilities in several countries to meet international demand and regulatory standards. The product remains a key part of Reckitt's health portfolio, often distributed through its local subsidiaries in the UK and Ireland.
