Description
 

What is hydrocortisone?

Hydrocortisone is a steroid medicine that is used in the treatment of many different conditions, including allergic disorders, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, or lung disorders.

Hydrocortisone is also used to replace steroids in people with adrenal insufficiency (decreased production of natural steroids by the adrenal glands).

Hydrocortisone affects your immune system and is often used to treat certain blood cell disorders such as anemia (low red blood cells) or thrombocytopenia (low platelets).

Hydrocortisone is also used in the treatment of certain cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

Hydrocortisone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Important Information

You should not use hydrocortisone if you have a fungal infection anywhere in your body.

Tell your doctor about any illness or infection you have had within the past several weeks.

Before taking this medicine

You should not use hydrocortisone if you are allergic to it, or if you have a fungal infection anywhere in your body.

Steroids can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection or worsening an infection you already have or have recently had. Tell your doctor about any illness or infection you have had within the past several weeks.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

• heart disease, high blood pressure;

• tuberculosis;

• kidney disease;

• cirrhosis or other liver disease;

• a thyroid disorder;

• low bone mineral density (osteoporosis);

• stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis;

• diabetes;

• a colostomy or ileostomy;

• depression or mental illness;

• glaucoma or cataracts;

• herpes infection of the eyes; or

• a muscle disorder such as myasthenia gravis.

Long-term use of steroids may lead to bone loss (osteoporosis), especially if you smoke, if you do not exercise, if you do not get enough vitamin D or calcium in your diet, or if you have a family history of osteoporosis.
