Overview
A 1 ounce tube of topical cream containing 0.5% hydrocortisone, formulated by Zymox for cats and kittens dealing with skin itching.
The low dose hydrocortisone concentration is meant for topical relief of itching or minor skin irritation rather than treating an underlying infection on its own. It ranks in both cat and dog itch remedy categories on Amazon, though it is labeled for cats and kittens specifically. Owners of dogs with skin issues should confirm suitability with a veterinarian before use.

Who it's for
Cat owners dealing with a kitten or adult cat showing localized itching or minor skin irritation. Not a fit for owners seeking treatment for a diagnosed infection or a large area of affected skin without veterinary guidance.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Formulated specifically for cats and kittens
- Low dose hydrocortisone for topical itching
- Compact 1 oz tube for spot treatment
- Mild formula, not for infections or large areas
- Small tube size for repeated use
Performance notes
At 0.5% hydrocortisone, the cream is formulated as a mild topical steroid intended to calm localized itching rather than resolve infections. The 1 ounce tube size suits spot application rather than covering large body areas.
