Usage

Cortef (Hydrocortisone) is a prescription medication used to treat a variety of conditions including arthritis, blood/hormone/immune system disorders, breathing problems, skin and eye conditions, cancer, and severe allergies. Hydrocortisone is a low-strength corticosteroid; which is a man-made steroid that is like cortisol, a natural hormone made by the body. This medication works by decreases your immune system's response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as pain, swelling and allergic reactions.

Side Effects and Precautions

Stop using the medication and get medical care if you have an allergic reaction. Signs of an allergic reaction may include difficulty breathing, hives (rash on your body), and swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. If you experience any of these symptoms, please call 911 or seek emergency medical care at the nearest emergency room (ER).

The common side effects of Cortef may include insomnia (sleep problems), nausea, headache, heartburn, increased sweating.

Call your doctor right away if you have any of these serious side effects such as:
• Black or tarry stools;
• Bone or joint pain;
• Change in behavior;
• Chest pain or pressure;
• Menstrual changes;
• Pancreatitis;
• Shortness of breath;
• Skin changes;
• Signs of high blood pressure;
• Signs of a weak adrenal gland or Cushing's disease;
• Symptoms of low potassium;
• Unexplained bruising or bleeding;
• Vision changes

The above information is a summary and may not contain all the side effect information. If you still have questions about side effects, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist so they can address all your concerns.

Warnings and Interactions

You should not use Cortef if you are allergic to hydrocortisone, or if you have an infection. To make sure Cortef is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had heart disease, high blood pressure, tuberculosis, kidney disease, cirrhosis or other liver disease, a thyroid disorder, osteoporosis, stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, diabetes, a colostomy or ileostomy, depression or mental illness, glaucoma or cataracts, herpes infection of the yes, or a muscle disorder. Because Cortef directly affects your immune system, avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Also, do not receive a “live” vaccine while using Cortef, as it may not work as well and may not fully protect you from the disease. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding to discuss any possible risks.
