Description:
Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid medication that helps reduce inflammation and suppress the body’s immune response. It works by decreasing the release of substances that cause swelling, redness, and allergic reactions.

It may also be used when oral corticosteroid therapy is not possible.
Uses:
• Treatment of severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis
• Management of adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease)
• Control of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders
• Treatment of severe asthma attacks and respiratory inflammation
• Support therapy in shock and critical medical conditions
