View company portfolio →What Hy-Cortisone (Hydrocortisone) is used for
Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid (steroid) medicine. It is the same as cortisol, a hormone the body makes naturally, and it calms swelling and inflammation. It is not the same as anabolic steroids. It comes in several forms: tablets (standard, slow-release and soluble) that are taken by mouth, creams and ointments for the skin, and injections. In the UK the tablets are prescription-only medicines. Most hydrocortisone skin creams are mild steroids that can be bought from pharmacies and shops, but stronger types need a prescription.
- Tablets: replacing cortisol when the body does not make enough (adrenal insufficiency), for example in Addison's disease or after the adrenal glands have been removed
- Tablets: hypopituitarism, a rare condition of the pituitary gland
- Tablets: replacement treatment in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Extra steroid cover before surgery, and during or after an injury, illness or other stress
- Severe asthma and severe allergic reactions
- Skin: eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and reactions to insect bites and stings
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: sudden swelling of the lips, mouth, throat or tongue, fast or difficult breathing, wheezing, a tight throat, blue, grey or pale skin or lips, sudden confusion, or fainting.
- Get emergency help if you vomit blood or have black or dark brown vomit.
- Get emergency help for any thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life.
- Contact a doctor straight away for signs of infection, such as fever, chills, a very sore throat, cough, painful peeing, mouth sores or a wound that will not heal.
