Hydrocortisone is a potent adrenocorticosteroid that is commonly used in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. These include allergic reactions, skin disorders, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and various breathing disorders. The primary function of hydrocortisone is to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, providing relief from the symptoms associated with these conditions.

One of the dosage forms of hydrocortisone is an oral suspension, which ranges from 1 mg/ml to 20 mg/ml.

These risks underscore the importance of adhering to the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment.
