Description
Hisone tablet contains hydrocortisone, a medicine that replaces or supplements cortisol, a natural hormone made by the adrenal glands. Cortisol is essential for maintaining energy levels, blood pressure, blood glucose balance, and the body’s stress response. This medicine is commonly used in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and in adults or children who cannot produce enough cortisol on their own.
Hisone tablet is also used to treat different types of adrenal insufficiency, including primary, secondary, and acute conditions. In people with adrenal problems, it helps the body cope during times of physical stress such as surgery, serious illness, injury, or trauma. Providing the body with the necessary cortisol helps prevent serious complications associated with hormone deficiency.
In emergency situations, Hisone tablet plays an important role in managing severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks, drug allergies, serum sickness, facial or throat swelling, and anaphylaxis. It works quickly to reduce inflammation, swelling, and immune overreaction, helping to stabilize the patient and relieve life-threatening symptoms.
Hydrocortisone works by entering cells and binding to specific receptors that control inflammation and immune responses. It reduces the release of substances that cause redness, swelling, pain, and allergic reactions. At the same time, it supports the body’s normal stress response, making it effective in both hormone replacement therapy and inflammatory or allergic conditions.
When used as prescribed, Hisone tablet improves quality of life and prevents serious complications associated with cortisol deficiency. Long-term use may require regular monitoring, as the medicine can affect immunity, bones, mood, and metabolism. Taking it exactly as directed and not stopping it suddenly is important to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Hydrocortisone works by replacing or supplementing the natural cortisol hormone produced by your adrenal glands. It helps control inflammation, reduce swelling, and regulate the body’s stress response. By binding to glucocorticoid receptors in cells, it influences the production of proteins that suppress the immune system and decrease the release of substances that cause redness, swelling, and pain. This makes it effective in treating conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, and inflammation-related conditions....
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Taking hydrocortisone with aspirin or painkillers like NSAIDs may increase the risk of stomach irritation, ulcers, or bleeding.
- Some medicines, such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, St John’s wort, and certain HIV medicines, can reduce the effect of hydrocortisone by increasing its breakdown in the body.
- Blood thinners like warfarin may work differently when taken with hydrocortisone, increasing the risk of bleeding or reducing their effect so that blood tests may be needed.
- Antifungal medicines like ketoconazole can interfere with steroid hormone production and may cause problems when hydrocortisone is stopped suddenly.
- Hydrocortisone can reduce the efficacy of antidiabetic, antihypertensive, and diuretic medications, necessitating dose adjustments.
- Using hydrocortisone with water tablets (diuretics), digoxin, asthma medicines, or amphotericin can lower potassium levels, which may be harmful.
- Oral contraceptive pills, hormone therapy, and medicines like ritonavir can increase hydrocortisone levels in the blood, raising the risk of side effects.
- Certain antibiotics and antifungal agents, as well as grapefruit juice, can increase hydrocortisone levels by slowing its metabolism.
- Hydrocortisone can reduce calcium absorption and may weaken bones with long-term use.
- High doses of hydrocortisone can reduce the body’s response to vaccines, so live vaccines should be avoided during treatment.

- Taking Hisone tablet with food or milk may reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
