Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

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. This formulation is designed to be absorbed quickly by the body, often providing symptom relief within minutes of administration. The uniform dispersion of the active ingredient in the liquid medium ensures a homogeneous mixture, which is crucial for accurate dosing and optimal therapeutic effect.

It should not be used for longer than two weeks without medical consultation. Prolonged use of hydrocortisone can lead to serious side effects such as adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome, and an increased risk of infection. These risks underscore the importance of adhering to the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment.

Furthermore, hydrocortisone can interact with other medications. These include, but are not limited to, anticoagulants, diuretics, and anticonvulsants. Therefore, it is crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

As with any medication, it is essential to use hydrocortisone under the guidance of a healthcare professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of hydrocortisone 1 mg/ml to 20 mg/ml oral suspension, please consult your healthcare provider for further information and advice.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
