A member asked:

Is it safe to use maximum strength cortizone (hydrocortisone) 10 while pregnant? i'm pregnant and have a rash and it's the only cream i could find in the home right now

Cortizone-10 : Cortizone-10 is a pregnancy category c medication which means that not enough research has been done to know how safe this medication is when used during pregnancy. This doesn't mean you absolutely cannot use it - what it means is that you should call your ob/gyne to discuss the pros and cons of using cortizone-10 for your rash.

Likely safe: It is safe if you mean using the 1% Hydrocortisone cream over the counter.
