What is it used for?
Hydrocortisone sodium succinate injection is a corticosteroid used by healthcare professionals for severe inflammation or allergic reactions and to provide corticosteroid replacement when the body does not produce enough cortisol. The exact use depends on the patient's condition.

How does it work?
It reduces inflammation and suppresses an overactive immune response. It can also replace the natural hormone cortisol when needed.

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

Common side effects
Increased blood sugar, increased blood pressure, fluid retention, indigestion, mood changes, difficulty sleeping and increased risk of infection may occur.

Precautions
Tell the healthcare professional about diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, osteoporosis, mental health conditions or any infection. Corticosteroids can hide signs of infection. Do not stop prolonged treatment suddenly unless advised by a healthcare professional. Seek urgent help for severe allergic reactions, unusual weakness, signs of infection or serious mood changes.
