Cortavance

0.584 mg/ml, hydrocortisone aceponate 0.584 mg/ml, cutaneous spray, solution for dogs
Assessed clinical scopeDog · Local treatment of inflammatory and pruritic dermatoses and canine atopic dermatitis within the labelled surface-area and course limits · On the skin
Care settingVeterinary-directed outpatient dermatology care
vetman score 8.4/10 Very good
Evidence confidence: High Georgia: Yes, veterinary · Verified on 18 Oct 2026

A strong local anti-inflammatory option for appropriately limited canine lesions, combining good evidence with lower systemic treatment burden.

Regulatory and scientific credibility8.5/10

The exact 0.584 mg/ml spray has a current 2026 UK SPC and active Georgian veterinary registration, with product-specific comparative evidence.

Clinical efficacy8.5/10

Hydrocortisone aceponate spray is guideline-supported for local canine atopic flares and has controlled evidence comparable with systemic ciclosporin in the studied setting.

Safety and tolerability8.0/10

Local delivery limits systemic exposure, but ulcers, hypersensitivity, young age, Cushing syndrome, reproduction and treatment of more than roughly one-third of body surface require caution.

Clinical practicality8.5/10

Two sprays per 10 x 10 cm once daily is precise and clinic-friendly for local disease; measuring surface area and reassessing longer atopic courses remain necessary.

Important safety and use flags
