What is Hydrocortisone?
Hydrocortisone is a steroid produced naturally in the body by the adrenal gland. Orally administered in tablet form, Hydrocortisone reduces inflammation in the body's tissues. Hydrocortisone is used to suppress the immune system because many of the adverse symptoms of many diseases, such as inflammation or fever, are often caused by the immune system, not by the disease itself.
Hydrocortisone is often prescribed to patients with inflammatory symptoms and pain caused by arthritis, immune diseases, allergies, infections, cancer, and other diseases.
As a natural steroid produced by the body, Hydrocortisone is crucial in helping the body transport and store fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, as well as maintaining the correct balance between electrolytes and water in body tissues. Adrenal gland diseases reduce the amount of Hydrocortisone in the body, so Hydrocortisone is required for these patients.
What are the side effects of Hydrocortisone?
The most common side effects of Hydrocortisone and other steroids are marked changes in mood. They include irritability, aggression, anxiety, nervousness, depression, sudden mood shifts, mania, and in rare cases, bipolar disorders. Hydrocortisone can also cause trouble with thinking, speaking, or walking.
Common physical side effects of Hydrocortisone include but are not limited to sweating, bloating, bruising, increased appetite, headache, dizziness, insomnia, and changes in menstruation. Hydrocortisone can affect children's growth. Hydrocortisone occurs naturally in the body, so allergic reactions are extremely rare.
