K-Gard Female Intimate Wash (60x100ml) Lactic Acid, Tea Tree Oil, Neem Extract by Abbott

What is it used for?
Hydrocortisone sodium injection is a corticosteroid used in hospitals for severe allergic or inflammatory conditions and when the body needs urgent replacement of the hormone cortisol, such as in adrenal insufficiency. It may also be used for other serious conditions when prescribed by a doctor.

How does it work?
It acts like the natural hormone cortisol and reduces inflammation, swelling and overactive immune reactions. It also helps support the body during cortisol deficiency.

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 duration depend on the condition and response to treatment.

Common side effects
Increased blood sugar or blood pressure, stomach upset, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, fluid retention and pain at the injection site may occur. The risk of side effects is higher with higher doses or prolonged treatment.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, osteoporosis, mental health conditions or any infection. Corticosteroids can reduce the body’s ability to fight infections and may mask infection symptoms. Do not stop prolonged treatment suddenly unless advised by a doctor. Seek urgent medical help for breathing difficulty, severe swelling, vision changes or signs of a serious infection.
