HYDROCORTISONE TABLETS, USP LINEAGE THERAPEUTICS RX ONLY
DESCRIPTION
Hydrocortisone Tablets, USP contain hydrocortisone which is a
glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids are
adrenocortical steroids, both naturally occurring and synthetic, which
are readily absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract.
Hydrocortisone USP is white to practically white, odorless,
crystalline powder with a melting point of
about 215°C. It is very slightly soluble in water and in ether;
sparingly soluble in acetone and in alcohol;
slightly soluble in chloroform.
The chemical name for hydrocortisone is
pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione,11,17,21-trihydroxy-,(11β)-. Its
molecular weight is 362.46 and the structural formula is as outlined
below.
Hydrocortisone Tablets, USP are available for oral administration in
three strengths: each tablet
contains either 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg of hydrocortisone. Inactive
ingredients: lactose, pregelatinized
corn starch, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, sodium
starch glycolate, and
magnesium stearate.
ACTIONS
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone),
which also have salt-retaining
properties, are used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical
deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs
are primarily used for their potent anti-inflammatory effects in
disorders of many organ systems.
Glucocorticoids cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In
addition, they modify the body's
immune responses to diverse stimuli.
