Description

Mechanism of Action
Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid used for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Its anti-inflammatory action is due to the suppression of migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversal of increased capillary permeability. It may also be used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical insufficiency.
Absorption: Readily absorbed from the GI tract (oral); sodium phosphate and sodium succinate esters are rapidly absorbed but the free alcohol and its lipid soluble ester are slowly absorbed (IM); Acetate is slowly absorbed (intra-articular inj); absorbed from the skin (denuded areas).
Distribution: Crosses the placenta. Protein-binding: >90%.
Metabolism: Hepatic (metabolised to hydrogenated and degraded forms).
Excretion: Via urine (as conjugates and glucuronide, with small portion as unchanged drug).
