1. What Solu-Cortef is and what it is used for
Solu-Cortef contains hydrocortisone sodium succinate. Hydrocortisone belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids or steroids.
Corticosteroids are produced naturally in your body and are important for many body functions. Boosting your body with extra corticosteroid such as Solu-Cortef can help when injected by a doctor or nurse if your body cannot produce enough corticosteroid due to problems with your adrenal glands (e.g. adrenal insufficiency).
Corticosteroids can also help treat shock following surgery, injuries, hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions or other stressful conditions.
Solu-Cortef may be administered by intravenous injection, by intravenous infusion, or by intramuscular injection, the preferred method for initial emergency use being intravenous injection. Following the initial emergency period, consideration should be given to employing a longer-acting injectable preparation or an oral preparation.
Features:
Supplied in vial of powder for solution for Injection intravenous or intramuscular use
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100mg hydrocortisone as the sodium succinate
