Description
Indications
Hydrocortisone is administered either as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other medications to alleviate the symptoms associated with insufficient levels of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are vital substances typically produced by the body, which are necessary for normal bodily functions. Hydrocortisone is also employed to address various medical conditions in patients whose corticosteroid levels are within the normal range.
Classified as a corticosteroid medication, hydrocortisone effectively addresses low corticosteroid levels by replacing the naturally produced steroids in the body. This medication mitigates swelling and redness, while modifying the functioning of the immune system to treat other medical conditions.
Uses and Dosage
Adhere to the following instructions provided by your doctor when taking this medication. Take it orally, with food or milk, to minimize the risk of experiencing stomach upset.
Follow the prescribed dosage and administration guidelines precisely. Consume the medication with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters), unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
Carefully adhere to the designated dosing schedule. The appropriate dosage and duration of treatment depend on your specific medical condition and your response to the medication. Your doctor may instruct you to take hydrocortisone either 1 to 4 times a day or as a single dose every other day. It may be helpful to mark your calendar with reminders or utilize a pill box to ensure compliance.
Under no circumstances should you discontinue this medication without consulting your doctor. Abruptly stopping the medication can worsen certain conditions. Your dosage may need to be gradually reduced under your doctor’s guidance.
