Product Description:
Hydrocortisone 20 mg Tablets are a type of corticosteroid medication used to treat a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Hydrocortisone, the active ingredient, is a synthetic version of the hormone cortisol, which is naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It works by reducing inflammation, suppressing the immune system, and alleviating symptoms associated with conditions such as arthritis, allergic reactions, skin conditions, and certain types of autoimmune diseases.
Hydrocortisone 20 mg Tablets are commonly used in the treatment of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), allergic reactions, dermatitis, and asthma. It can also be used in the management of adrenal insufficiency, where the body does not produce enough cortisol.
As a systemic corticosteroid, Hydrocortisone is typically prescribed when the inflammation is widespread or severe, providing effective relief from symptoms. It helps to reduce swelling, redness, and pain, as well as improving mobility in certain conditions.
Uses:
Treatment of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Management of allergic reactions, including severe allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, and asthma
Control of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis or systemic lupus erythematosus
Used in adrenal insufficiency to replace insufficient cortisol production in the body
