About Lycortin S 100Mg Injection

Lycortin S 100 mg Injection contains Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate, a corticosteroid that mirrors the body's natural cortisol activity. It is prescribed when the adrenal glands fail to produce adequate steroid hormones, a condition often linked to adrenal, pituitary, or hypothalamic dysfunction. It is also used to manage hormone levels during major surgeries and to control severe inflammatory or allergic responses. This prescription-only injectable is administered exclusively by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting.

Usage Instructions

  • The injection should never be self-administered.
  • It must be given only by a certified physician or nurse strictly as prescribed dose and frequency.
  • It is given intravenously or intramuscularly.
  • It is usually given for patients who cannot swallow medicine, depending on the condition being treated, its severity, and how the patient responds to therapy.
  • If you experience any side effects after the administration, inform your physician immediately.

Benefits and Use

  • Lycortin S 100 mg Injection helps restore hormone balance when the adrenal glands underproduce natural steroids, a deficiency that can affect energy, blood pressure, and metabolism.
  • It also helps patients undergoing major surgery by maintaining steroid hormone levels during the physical stress of the therapy.
  • It mitigates the release of substances that cause inflammation.
  • It treats different allergic and inflammatory conditions like lupus, arthritis, ulcerative colitis and psoriasis.

Safety Information

  • Pregnant:
  • Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate crosses the placenta, so this injection is given during pregnancy only if your doctor decides the benefit clearly outweighs the risk. Inform your doctor immediately if you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
  • Breastfeeding:
  • It passes into breast milk in small amounts, and high or prolonged doses may affect the nursing infant's growth. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before continuing to breastfeed during treatment.
  • Alcohol:
  • Avoid the intake of alcohol while administering this injection, as it can worsen stomach irritation and fluid retention.
  • Kidney disorders:
  • Patients with kidney disease should use this injection cautiously, as corticosteroids can worsen fluid and sodium retention, raising blood pressure further. Your doctor may adjust the dose and monitor kidney function more closely during treatment.
  • Lung disorders:
  • This injection is commonly used to manage severe asthma and respiratory flare-ups, but patients with tuberculosis or chronic lung infections need careful evaluation first. Since corticosteroids can suppress immunity, any underlying lung infection should be treated or controlled before therapy begins.
