H Cort 100 mg Injection Substitute

H Cort 100 mg Injection contains 'Hydrocortisone', a corticosteroid that works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. H Cort 100 mg Injection is used to treat painful, swollen joints and tendons in conditions such as golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow. Also, it is used to improve different conditions such as ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the lower bowel), Crohn’s disease (inflammation of the gut), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLS), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (autoimmune disorder), severe shock due to infection or injury or failure of adrenal glands. H Cort 100 mg Injection may be used for a short duration when other means do not or insufficiently help in case of severe allergic reactions, severe asthma, chronic bronchitis or emphysema (lung disease that causes shortness of breath), or status asthmaticus (a persistent asthma attack). Also, hydrocortisone works as a hormone replacement for cortisol (a natural hormone) when your body does not make enough cortisol as the adrenal cortex does not function properly (ex: Addison's disease). H Cort 100 mg Injection may be used in combination with other adrenal cortex hormones.
