Properties

Texacort is a synthetic non-halogenated corticosteroid for external use. The esterification of the hydrocortisone molecule with a butyric acid residue (butyrate) made it possible to radically increase the activity of the drug compared to native hydrocortisone. Texacort has a rapid anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, antipruritic effect.
