HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE, 25 MG
RECTAL SUPPOSITORIES
DESCRIPTION
Hydrocortisone Acetate is a corticosteroid designated chemically as
pregn-4-ene 3, 20-
dione, 21-(acetyloxy)-11,17-dihydroxy-(11β) with the following
structural formula:
Each rectal suppository contains hydrocortisone acetate, USP 25 mg in
a specially
blended hydrogenated vegetable oil base.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
In normal subjects, about 26% of hydrocortisone acetate is absorbed
when the
suppository is applied to the rectum. Absorption of hydrocortisone
acetate may vary
across abraded or inflamed surfaces. Topical steroids are primarily
effective because of
their anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive action.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Hydrocortisone acetate suppositories are indicated for use in inflamed
hemorrhoids,
post-irradiation (factitial) proctitis; as an adjunct in the treatment
of chronic ulcerative
colitis; cryptitis; and other inflammatory conditions of anorectum and
pruritus ani.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hydrocortisone acetate suppositories are contraindicated in those
patients having a
history of hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone acetate or any of the
components.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not use hydrocortisone acetate suppositories unless adequate
proctologic
examination is made.
If irritation develops, the product should be discontinued and
appropriate therapy
instituted.
In the presence of an infection, the use of an appropriate antifungal
or antibacterial
agent should be instituted. If a favorable response does not occur
promptly,
hydrocortisone acetate should be discontinued until the infection has
been adequately
controlled.
CARCINOGENESIS
No long term studies in animals have been performed to evaluate the
carcinogenic
potential of corticosteroid suppositorie
