氢化可的松片（hydrocortisone）适用于什么病症？

Tablet, it is a hormonal drug. Some patients with adrenal insufficiency often have very low cortisol. If oral hormone supplementation with hydrocortisone tablets is not given in time, the patient may suffer from general fatigue and soreness. Some patients may also experience a drop in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate under stress. In severe cases, symptoms of shock may occur. So what diseases are hydrocortisone tablets suitable for?

Indications of hydrocortisone tablets: Mainly used for replacement therapy of adrenal insufficiency and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It can also be used for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, gout, bronchial asthma, allergic diseases, and can be used for severe infection and anti-shock treatment.

Contraindications for hydrocortisone:

(1) Medication during pregnancy; hydrocortisone can pass through the placenta. Animal experimental studies have confirmed that administration during pregnancy can increase the incidence of embryonic jaw clefts, placental insufficiency, spontaneous abortion and intrauterine growth retardation. The use of pharmacological doses of hydrocortisone in humans may increase the incidence of placental insufficiency, neonatal weight loss, or stillbirth. Teratogenic effects in humans have not been demonstrated. Babies born to those who have received a certain dose of hydrocortisone during pregnancy should be monitored for signs of adrenal insufficiency.

(2) Medication during lactation: Physiological doses or low pharmacological doses (25 mg of cortisone or 5 mg of prednisone per day, or less) generally have no adverse effects on infants. However, if a wet nurse receives a large dose of pharmacological drugs, she should not breastfeed because hydrocortisone can be excreted in breast milk and cause adverse effects on the baby, such as growth inhibition and adrenal cortex function suppression.
