Hydrocortisone 5mg – Oral Corticosteroid for Inflammation and Hormonal Replacement

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid medication widely used to treat inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune conditions. It contains cortisol, a hormone naturally produced by the body. Hydrocortisone helps reduce inflammation, suppresses overactive immune responses, and relieves symptoms associated with conditions like eczema, dermatitis, asthma, allergies, and adrenal insufficiency.

This medication can be used topically (as creams or ointments) for skin conditions, or taken orally/injected for more systemic issues. In tablet form, it is often used in hormone replacement therapy, particularly for patients with adrenal disorders.
