Customer question:
Do I need a doctor's prescription for buttock cream? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Butt-burning creams can be both prescription and over-the-counter, depending on the ingredients and strength of the medication. Most creams containing local anesthetics or hydrocortisone in low concentrations are available with a prescription; the others are mostly not.
You need a doctor's prescription if you want a cream that contains more potent ingredients, such as more potent local anesthetics, higher concentrations of corticosteroids, or other medications to treat specific conditions. For example, creams with certain antifungal ingredients or antibiotics are usually only available by prescription.
It is recommended that you consult a pharmacist or doctor before purchasing to choose a suitable medicine for your specific condition and thus obtain appropriate advice or instructions for use. It is also important to keep in mind that if the symptoms do not improve or worsen, it is necessary to visit a doctor to rule out more serious causes and to prescribe appropriate treatment.
