FOR RECTAL ADMINISTRATION
RX ONLY
DESCRIPTION
Hydrocortisone acetate is a corticosteroid designed chemically as
pregn-4-ene-3, 20-
dione, 21-(acetyloxy)-11, 17-dihydroxy-(11ß) with the following
structural formula:
Each suppository for rectal administration contains hydrocortisone
acetate, USP 25 mg
in a specially blended hydrogenated vegetable base.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
In normal subjects, about 26% of hydrocortisone acetate is absorbed
when the
hydrocortisone acetate 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.

hemorrhoids,
post-irradiation (factitial) proctitis, as an adjunct in the treatment

colitis, cryptitis, other inflammatory conditions of anorectum, and
pruritus ani.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:

components.
