Introduction to Hydrobrace Injection

Hydrobrace Injection contains the active constituent Hydrocortisone. It is used to treat primary or secondary adrenocortical insufficiency and Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (in which adequate steroid hormones are not produced). It is useful to treat arthritis, skin diseases, allergic conditions, eye diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer conditions, disorders affecting blood, gastrointestinal diseases, and collagen disorders. 

Hydrobrace Injection may mask the signs of infections, and new infections may appear during the use. Prolonged use of the medicine may lead to eye-related problems.

It is important to inform your allergic conditions and diseases to your doctor before taking this medication.  Avoid exposure to people who have chickenpox, measles, or shingles during the treatment. Consult your doctor if you experience mental health problems while taking medicine. This medicine contains lactose. Ask for a doctor’s advice if you are intolerant to sugars.

Therapeutic Effects of Hydrobrace Injection

Hydrobrace Injection is a corticosteroid hormone (naturally occurring hormone cortisol), which is produced by the adrenal gland. Cortisol plays an important role in regulating inflammation and immune function. When there is an injury or infection, the body responds by increasing inflammation and immune activity to help fight off the threat. However, the inflammatory response can sometimes become excessive or misguided, leading to tissue damage or autoimmune disorders. This medication works by binding to specific receptors in the body and inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals and immune cells, thus reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response. This can relieve pain, swelling, and redness and help prevent tissue damage and further complications.


Interaction of Hydrobrace Injection with other drugs

Inform your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Hydrobrace Injection and reduce effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
