A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

LOCOID (hydrocortisone butyrate) is a topical medication prescribed to treat topical dermatitis in patients who are three years or older. LOCOID is available as a lotion, cream, or ointment.
LOCOID is a topical corticosteroid medication. This type of medicine helps to reduce inflammation and can treat itching, redness, and swelling associated with dermatitis. LOCOID works by decreasing the response of the immune system.
Directions
Apply a thin layer of LOCOID to the affected area twice daily or as directed by the doctor.
Do not use LOCOID longer than two weeks unless directed by your physician.
Do not use an occlusive dressing when using LOCOID.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in LOCOID is hydrocortisone butyrate.
Interactions
There are no known interactions between LOCOID and other medications.
Separate the application of LOCOID and other topical medications by at least 15 minutes to allow each medication to absorb into the skin.
Cautions
Tell your doctor if you have a history of endocrine disorders, including Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria.
Corticosteroids can cause reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, decreasing the usual levels of glucocorticoids. Your doctor should monitor for these reactions, especially if you use LOCOID over a large amount of skin.
Side Effects
LOCOID cream side effects are usually mild, with the most common being application site reactions. LOCOID lotion and LOCOID ointment have similar side effects. Other side effects may include:
Burning
Dermatitis
Eczema
Erythema
Inflammation
Irritation
Pruritus
Skin depigmentation
