Question 1

allergies to solu-cortef?

Accepted Answer

POssible: Steroid allergies are very unusual but have been reported.

Question 2

what is the duration of injected solu-cortef (hydrocortisone)?

Accepted Answer

About 8-12 hours: 8-12 hours is what is referred to as the 'half-life' of this medication.   That means that 1/2 of the drug has been metabolized (removed) in this time period.  Although half of the dose is still present after this time period, it is understandably much less effective for every hour beyond this.  The maximal (usual) effect of this drug, then, is good for the first 8-12 hours.

Question 3

my husband lost his job and our insurance. i have addisons disease and need refills on my synthroid, estrodoil, cortef, florinef and 2 solu-cortef in?

Accepted Answer

Contact local clinic: This is the public information site on Healthtap. We do not offer to diagnose or treat anyone for anything. If you have a condition that requires prescription meds you need to look to a local clinic for help. Sometimes you will find these affiliated with teaching hospitals.

Question 4

hi does solu-cortef treat disseminated intravascular coagulation?

Accepted Answer

Solu cortef (hydrocortisone): It doesn't treat it in any way. It may be used with other medications used to treat this condition, but in and of itself it doesn't.

Question 5

should i be on medication for a gfr of 38?

Accepted Answer

Nephrologist: You ought consult a kidney specialist to ascertain the cause and adjust your diet. Other treatment, if any, would depend on the cause of your kidney disorder.

Question 6

if you have crohn's, what medication(s) should you be on?

Accepted Answer

Several options: It all depends on the location and severity of your disease. You also need blood work and a PPD (TB) test before certain meds can be used. Sometimes you may need high dose steroids depending on the severity of the disease. Please discuss with your GI doc.

Question 7

i'm just wondering, if you have crohn's, what medication(s) are you on?

Accepted Answer

Immune suppression: 1. 5-asa medications (sulfasalazine, asacol, (mesalamine) pentasa) may take the edge of symptoms, they do not adequately treat crohn's disease. 
2. Steroids work, but are only useful for short course because of side effects.
3. Azathioprine (imuran), 6-mp, Methotrexate are often effective, and reduce the need for steroids
4. Remicade, Humira are very effective at treating fistulas or severe crohn's.

Question 8

i need a refill on my medication?

Accepted Answer

So call your doc: This is the HT public information site.We are thousands of volunteer docs based primarily in the US who answer medical questions.We do not offer treatments. State medical boards require a physician/patient relationship,a retrievable record,recent exam with vital signs for prescribing.Failure to do so can lead to loss or restriction of license. It may seem minor to you but it is not.

Question 9

i need refills on my medications?

Accepted Answer

Not here: For that you will likely need the prime service of healthtap. Easier to call your pop imo

Question 10

do any doctors on here perscribe medication?

Accepted Answer

No: We can only prescribe to those who see us, and we know who they are, know their allergies and are covered by insurances and we know would be sage to do so. Our system had a telemedicine, wherein, our own patients can go on the insurance computer for us and we can give them their medicine but not for consultation as this, too risky for you and for us, medico legally.
