Hydrason Tablet 20 mg contains Hydrocortisone, a synthetic corticosteroid that mimics the action of cortisol, a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol is essential for maintaining normal metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and the body’s response to stress. Hydrason Tablet 20 mg is primarily used for hormone replacement therapy in adrenal insufficiency and for managing various inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.

This higher strength formulation is suitable for patients who require a greater dose of hydrocortisone to effectively control their symptoms under medical supervision.

Indications

Hydrason Tablet 20 mg is indicated for:

• Primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency (including Addison’s disease)

• Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

• Severe allergic conditions

• Bronchial asthma

• Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint diseases

• Systemic lupus erythematosus

• Inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis

It may also be prescribed in other corticosteroid-responsive conditions as determined by a healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Hydrocortisone exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and reducing immune system activity. It decreases swelling, redness, itching, and allergic responses. In patients with adrenal insufficiency, Hydrason Tablet 20 mg replaces deficient cortisol, helping to restore hormonal balance and maintain essential body functions.

Dosage and Administration

The dose of Hydrason Tablet 20 mg depends on the patient’s medical condition, severity, and response to therapy. It should always be taken as prescribed by a qualified physician.

• Take orally with food or milk to minimize gastric irritation.

• The daily dose may be divided into multiple administrations.

• Do not abruptly discontinue the medication; gradual dose tapering is necessary to avoid adrenal crisis.

Long-term therapy requires careful monitoring by a healthcare provider.
