Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Hydrocortisone 30 mg Suppository is a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of inflammatory and allergic conditions. These conditions may include eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and various allergic reactions.

The suppository is inserted into the rectum, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. Once released, the hydrocortisone is absorbed into the bloodstream, where it works to reduce inflammation and itching. This method of administration allows for both local and systemic absorption of the medication, providing relief from symptoms.

It is crucial to understand that hydrocortisone suppositories should not be used for more than 7 consecutive days. Prolonged use can lead to potential side effects, including thinning of the skin, the appearance of stretch marks, and an increased risk of infection. Therefore, it is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of use to avoid these potential side effects.

Patients should also be aware that the insertion of hydrocortisone suppositories may cause temporary burning or stinging. This is a common reaction and should subside shortly after insertion. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, it is recommended to seek medical advice immediately.

If you have any questions or concerns about using hydrocortisone suppositories, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

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.
