The efficacy and effects of cortisone

As the times continue to develop, people's living standards are also developing rapidly. Nowadays, there are more and more types of diseases. Generally, people who are sick go to the pharmacy to buy treatment drugs on their own. Everyone may have heard of cortisone, but its actual effects and functions are still not fully understood. Since cortisone is a therapeutic drug of the adrenal hormone class, many people are worried that it will cause adverse effects after use. The following is a detailed introduction to the effects and functions of cortisone.

Cortisone is a therapeutic drug of the adrenal hormone class. It is a replacement therapy for adrenal insufficiency or hypopituitarism. It can also treat seasonal allergies and inflammatory diseases. The absorption effect after oral administration is relatively good, but the absorption rate of intramuscular injection is slower. The objective efficacy of this product is similar to that of prednisone, but its therapeutic effect is slightly worse.

The usage and dosage of cortisone is 12.5~25 mg each time for oral administration, 25~100 mg per day. If you choose intramuscular injection, it is 25~125 mg each time, 1 to 2 times a day. When using cortisone, you must grasp the correct way of taking it. Its side effects are greatly related to the treatment process, dosage, type of medication and method of use, such as urticaria, chest tightness and shortness of breath, etc.

There are also groups that are not suitable for the use of cortisone, including those who are allergic to adrenaline; patients within half a month before or after vaccination; patients with viral skin diseases; patients with corneal ulcers or those with severe mental illness and epilepsy. This product is not recommended for long-term use, and the dosage should not be increased to prevent adverse effects and cause side effects of therapeutic drugs.

The above is an introduction to what kind of medicine cortisone is. I believe that through the above introduction, everyone should have a certain understanding of therapeutic drugs such as cortisone. When using any medicine, it is best to understand the instructions for use of the medicine, or take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions. Never adjust the dosage of the medicine without permission. During the period of taking the medicine, you must understand the side effects and contraindications of the medicine. Only by taking the medicine properly can the disease be completely cured.
