Warnings and Precautions

Before starting to use Hemkortin-HC, you should discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist.
If you have any of the following conditions, you should discuss it with your doctor before starting to use Hemkortin-HC.

You should be particularly careful when using Hemkortin-HC if:

  • you have an infection, allergy, or other symptoms - you should then receive appropriate causal treatment;
  • you are being vaccinated or receiving immunization treatment - you should not use the medicine then;
  • you experience irritation symptoms - you should then stop using the medicine;
  • you use the medicine for a long time - it is unlikely that systemic changes characteristic of corticosteroids may occur;
  • you experience anal bleeding - you should then immediately contact your doctor;
  • you have previously used hydrocortisone - you should tell your doctor about it.
  • If you experience blurred vision or other vision disturbances, you should contact your doctor.

If the treatment is not effective, you should consult your doctor.

Children

The use of the medicine in children under 12 years of age is contraindicated.

Pregnancy

Before using the medicine, you should consult your doctor.
Animal studies have shown that hydrocortisone has teratogenic and embryotoxic effects. There are unconfirmed data indicating a risk of cleft palate, intrauterine growth retardation, and suppressive effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in fetuses under the influence of hydrocortisone. Therefore, Hemkortin-HC can be used in pregnant women only if there is an absolute need to use this medicine, after a thorough assessment of the risk and benefits by the doctor.
Breastfeeding
Before using the medicine, you should consult your doctor.
Hemkortin-HC should not be used during breastfeeding due to the risk of growth inhibition in the child by hydrocortisone.
Driving and using machines:
The effect of the medicine on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery has not been studied.

Hemkortin-HC and other medicines

You should tell your doctor about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take, including those that are available without a prescription.

You should be particularly careful when using Hemkortin-HC with any of the following medicines.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or acetylsalicylic acid. This may cause stomach and duodenal ulcers, erosion, or gastrointestinal bleeding. In patients with hypoprothrombinemia, caution is recommended when using corticosteroids with acetylsalicylic acid.
Phenytoin - the therapeutic effect of corticosteroids may be reduced due to increased metabolism and reduced serum concentration. This is due to the induction of liver microsomal enzymes by phenytoin. In this situation, it may be necessary to increase the dose of corticosteroids;
Vaccines, live viruses, or other vaccinations. The use of corticosteroids during vaccination is not recommended due to the increased risk of neurological complications after vaccination and possible reduction of antibody levels or lack of response to vaccination.
Some medicines may enhance the effect of Hemkortin-HC, and your doctor may want to carefully monitor your condition when taking such medicines (including some HIV medicines: ritonavir, cobicistat)

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a child, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Hemkortin-HC can be used in pregnant women only if there is an absolute need to use this medicine, after a thorough assessment of the risk and benefits by the doctor.
Hemkortin-HC should not be used during breastfeeding due to the risk of growth inhibition in the child by hydrocortisone.

Adults usually use one suppository in the morning, one in the evening, and after each bowel movement.
Use for three to four days, until the inflammation subsides. If after this time there is no improvement or you feel worse, you should contact your doctor.
