Hy-Cort-100 (1 Vial) Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate 100 Mg By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Hydrocortisone sodium succinate injection is a corticosteroid used in hospitals and emergencies to reduce severe inflammation or allergic reactions. It may also be used to replace the body’s cortisol when the adrenal glands are not producing enough.

How does it work?
It acts like the natural hormone cortisol. It reduces inflammation and suppresses an overactive immune response, while helping replace cortisol when it is deficient.

How to take/use it
This medicine is given by injection into a vein or muscle by a doctor or trained healthcare professional. The dose and treatment duration depend on the condition and response to treatment. It should not be self-administered.

Common side effects
Possible side effects include increased blood sugar, increased blood pressure, fluid retention, stomach upset, mood or sleep changes, and increased risk of infection. Side effects may be more likely with higher doses or prolonged treatment.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, osteoporosis, mental health conditions, or any current infection. Corticosteroids can mask signs of infection and may worsen some infections. Seek medical help for severe allergic reactions, serious infection symptoms, vision changes, or severe mood changes. Do not stop prolonged corticosteroid treatment suddenly unless advised by a doctor.
