Hydrocortisone 10mg Tablets In Pakistan
Hydrocortisone 10mg Tablets contain hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid medicine that acts similarly to cortisol, a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It may be prescribed for conditions in which the body does not produce enough cortisol, including adrenal insufficiency, and for certain other inflammatory or immune-related conditions when appropriate.
