What is Cortef?

Cortef is a brand-name prescription drug that is prescribed to reduce swelling across a broad spectrum of diseases and conditions. These include allergies (allergic reactions, skin reactions, asthma, sinus problems, and drug reactions), arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other forms of rheumatism or arthritis), skin conditions (dermatitis, scaling dermatitis, psoriasis), gastrointestinal conditions (ulcerative colitis, enteritis, and others), blood conditions (anemia, low platelet counts, and others), cancers (leukemias, lymphomas), respiratory diseases and conditions (tuberculosis, pneumonitis, and others), eye problems (conjunctivitis, dry eye, herpes, and others), and other diseases and conditions.

Because the adrenal gland produces a hormone nearly identical to the active ingredient in Cortef, hydrocortisone, treatment with Cortef or generic hydrocortisone is the treatment of choice for hormone replacement when the adrenal gland does not produce enough hormones.

Cortef is a corticosteroid, a family of drugs that reduces swelling by blocking the immune system's ability to release chemicals that cause swelling. Cortef is taken as a tablet. The dosage will depend on the underlying condition being treated.

What are the side effects of Cortef?

The most common side effects of Cortef include, but are not limited to, acne, dry skin, thinning skin, bruising, headache, dizziness, vertigo, nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, bloating, and muscle weakness. Serious but less common side effects include high blood pressure, convulsions, osteoporosis (bone loss), and glaucoma (elevated fluid pressure in the eye). The active ingredient in Cortef, hydrocortisone, may cause mood swings. Allergic reactions are rare, but discontinue Cortef at any sign of an allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, or trouble breathing.
