Overview
Cortitab 10mg Tablets (30 pack) contain hydrocortisone, the body's own stress hormone in tablet form, prescribed mainly as replacement therapy for adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease and related conditions) and for certain inflammatory and allergic disorders. Because it mirrors natural cortisol, hydrocortisone restores the energy, blood pressure stability and wellbeing that adrenal patients lose, and is dosed to imitate the body's daily rhythm. A vital, life-sustaining therapy for people living with adrenal conditions. Always managed under close medical supervision.
Hydrocortisone 10mg per tablet.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Replacement dosing typically splits the daily amount, with the larger dose on waking and a smaller dose in the afternoon, taken with food. Never stop suddenly: your doctor will advise sick-day rules, where the dose is doubled during fever, infection, vomiting or surgery. Carry a steroid alert card and seek urgent care if you cannot keep tablets down.
Long-term steroid use must never be stopped abruptly. Adrenal crisis (vomiting, collapse, low blood pressure) is life-threatening; seek emergency care if it occurs. Tell every clinician you take hydrocortisone before procedures. May raise blood sugar and blood pressure, thin bones and skin with prolonged use, and increase infection risk. Report fevers promptly. Caution with NSAIDs (ulcer risk) and enzyme-inducing medicines like rifampicin. Use in pregnancy under specialist care. Store below 30°C.
