HYDROCORTONE is a corticosteroid injection containing hydrocortisone sodium phosphate, a rapid-acting glucocorticoid used for systemic anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is administered intravenously or intramuscularly for acute inflammatory and allergic conditions, adrenal insufficiency, and shock. The drug works by suppressing the immune response and reducing inflammation across multiple organ systems.
