Can Hydrocortisone Injection be used?

If there are indications for hydrocortisone injection, this medication is generally suitable for treatment. It is recommended to use the drug under a doctor's guidance. If the patient does not have relevant indications for this medication, it generally should not be used.

Hydrocortisone injection is a synthetic pharmaceutical preparation belonging to the class of short-acting glucocorticoids. When patients experience severe inflammatory reactions, such as acute asthma attacks, anaphylactic shock, or acute adrenal cortical insufficiency, hydrocortisone injection can rapidly suppress inflammatory responses, alleviate symptoms, and stabilize the patient's condition. Additionally, arthritis and tenosynovitis may be treated via local injection of hydrocortisone injection, and this medication may also be administered for nonspecific ocular inflammatory conditions.

However, it is important to note that if a patient does not have relevant indications for this medication, it generally should not be administered. Furthermore, if patients exhibit allergic reactions to any component of hydrocortisone injection, the medication should be contraindicated to avoid potentially severe allergic reactions, such as itching, redness, swelling, and pain.

During treatment with this medication, patients should develop healthy lifestyle habits and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods, such as pepper, chili peppers, and garlic, to prevent interference with recovery.
