• The duration between injections depends on your specific condition as directed by your doctor.

Hycort 100 Injection 1 is administered intravenously or via an intramuscular route.

Hycort 100 Injection 1 contains hydrocortisone (100 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Suppresses Inflammation: Hydrocortisone works by blocking the production of substances that trigger inflammation, such as prostaglandins. This helps in reducing swelling, redness, and pain.

• Modulates Immune System: It lowers the lymphatic system's activity and volume, thus reducing immune cell circulation. This helps in preventing them from reaching sites of inflammation.

• Alters Body's Response: It influences the production of certain chemicals like histamine and leukotrienes thereby altering the body's normal response to infection and stress.

• Functions as Replacement Therapy: In conditions where the adrenal glands are deficient in producing enough cortisol, hydrocortisone acts as a replacement therapy.

• Store Hycort 100 Injection 1 at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Shield the medication from light.

• Do not expose it to excessive moisture or heat.

• Keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're managing inflammatory or allergic conditions with Hycort 100 Injection 1, consider incorporating Omega-3-rich foods like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds into your diet. These nutrients can help reduce inflammation.

• Regular gentle exercise such as walking or yoga might help ease symptoms of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, which are often managed with Hycort 100 Injection 1. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
