Quick Details

Principle glucocorticoid hormone produced

by adrenal cortex. An anti-inflammatory hormone.

Description

--------------------------------------------

Hydrocortisone is a natural substance (corticosteroid hormone) made by the adrenal gland. It is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood/hormone/immune system disorders, skin and eye conditions, breathing problems, cancer, and severe allergies. It decreases your immune system's response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as pain, swelling and allergic-type reactions.

Hydrocortisone is also used to treat low hydrocortisone levels caused by diseases of the adrenal gland (such as Addison's disease, adrenocortical insufficiency). Corticosteroids are needed in many ways for the body to function well. They are important for salt and water balance and keeping blood pressure normal.

Applications

--------------------------------------------------

Hydrocortisone is a steroid medication that treats inflammation in the body.

The drug comes in an oral form to take by mouth, and a topical form to apply to the skin. It's available over-the-counter (OTC) and with a prescription for higher-strength formulations.

Oral hydrocortisone is typically used to treat certain forms of arthritis, allergies, skin disorders, blood disorders, asthma, kidney disorders, thyroid problems, autoimmune diseases, certain types of cancer, and intestinal problems.

It's also used by some people whose adrenal glands do not produce the normal amount of hydrocortisone that's made in the body.

Topical hydrocortisone is used to treat minor skin irritations, skin allergies, eczema, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, mouth sores, poison sumac, hemorrhoids, and other itching in certain parts of the body.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved hydrocortisone in 1952.

The drug is available under dozens of brand names (Anusol HC, Locoid, Westcort, etc.) and in combinations with other drugs (e.g., antibiotics such as neomycin).

Hydrocortisone for Acne

Applying topical hydrocortisone to acne lesions may reduce redness and inflammation. The medicine may also speed up recovery.

You can apply a small amount of cream directly to inflamed pimples or cysts. In some cases, doctors can inject hydrocortisone directly into pimples.

Hydrocortisone for Dogs

Hydrocortisone is not FDA-approved for use in pets, but under a veterinarian's care, the drug may be used to relieve skin problems in dogs.

The medicine can be given orally or topically to relieve itchy skin. You should talk to your veterinarian about how to give your dog hydrocortisone.
