Clinical Information

Chemical Structure

No Image found
Clinical Pharmacology

In normal subjects, about 26% of hydrocortisone acetate is absorbed when the suppository is applied to the rectum. Absorption of hydrocortisone acetate may vary across abraded or inflamed surfaces. Topical steroids are primarily effective because of their anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive action.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
Hydrocortisone suppositories are contraindicated in those patients having a history of hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone acetate or any of the components.

Ketoconazole is mainly metabolized through CYP3A4. Other substances that either sharethis metabolic pathway or modify CYP3A4 activity may influence the pharmacokinetics of ketoconazole. Similarly, ketoconazole may modify the pharmacokinetics of other substances that share this metabolic pathway. Ketoconazole is a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor and a P-glycoprotein inhibitor. When using concomitant medication, the corresponding label should be consulted for information on the route of metabolism and the possible need to adjust dosages.

Interaction studies have only been performed in adults. The relevance of the results from these studies in pediatric patients is unknown.

Do not use Hydrocortisone suppositories unless adequate proctologic examination is made. If irritation develops, the product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. In the presence of an infection, the use of an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be instituted. If a favorable response does not occur promptly, Hydrocortisone suppository should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled.
