Hydrocortisone (Hydrocort/Cortef) Nursing Drug Card (Simplified) - Pharmacology

[@samanthastephens5652]

My grandma is actually taking micro dosed hydrocortisone and she is the first person in the world with reversed dementia. I understand that hydrocortisone eliminates several diseases and hope that it can become regularly available. We work with the Helen foundation in Arizona and have had life changing results. I truly hope that anyone interested in hydrocortisone does look into this, it helped get her walking again, a true miracle. I say miracle as its not available to the public and has changed several lives. Thank you for such a thorough video on this explanation.

I know this is an old comment but I just saw it and am fascinated by it. May ai ask what dosages she takes and how frequently she takes them?

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, sorry for the very late response, I missed your comment! Thank you for sharing! I hope she is still doing well these days. And thank you for the kind words 🙂

Incredible

[@adunzoroq33]

I've just been put on this and I'm almost crying how invasive this is, I'd love a second opinion but there's lack of knowledgeable docs around where I am 😕

[@NurseRyan]

I'm sorry to hear that! I can't give any actual medical advice here; However, you could try speaking to a pharmacist for a second opinion (if you can't get a second opinion from another physician).

Extended use caused me to develop oral thrush.....from immunosuppression.

[@NurseRyan]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that you notified your primary healthcare provider to start treatment of the oral thrush right away! Sadly the side effects can effect anyone. Hope you're feeling better now.

help me with medical note.. especially in forming medically correct sentences and how I can form sentence promptly

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, one thing that may help is to search online for how to document effectively. For example, Rivier University has a page called "Tips for Great Nursing Documentation" that may be useful. There are many resources online that can hopefully help!

[@shomirkartman]

please help me with scribing , I am finding it hard to form sentence while dr. & patient are conversing. Give me some resources or tips on how I can make good medical note.

How do I get this?

[@NurseRyan]

As far as I know, the only type of Hydrocortisone that you can get over-the-counter (without a prescription) is Topical Hydrocortisone as a cream. You will need a prescription for anything else, including oral tablets. However, I would recommend speaking to your local pharmacist for the best information!

[@techhead7663]

Sounds good, but What about taking this drog and get covid? Would help?

[@NurseRyan]

Hi, I don't have the most up-to-date information for use of Hydrocortisone in COVID-19, and would always recommend speaking to your primary healthcare provider for the best information for your case. A quick scan of some articles online seem to point in the direction that Hydrocortisone is not as effective as Dexamethasone for COVID-19 treatment in those who require respiratory therapy. But again, this information might not be the most up-to-date.
