Hydrocortisone, marketed under the brand name Cortef, is a corticosteroid medication used to treat conditions involving inflammation, such as allergic reactions, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, and certain types of cancer. It works by decreasing the body's immune response to reduce symptoms like swelling, redness, and pain. Cortef is often prescribed when the body does not produce enough natural corticosteroids.
