Description
Buy Hydrocortisone Tablets Online – Generic Cortef for Adrenal Insufficiency
Restore Cortisol Balance with Trusted Glucocorticoid Therapy
Hydrocortisone tablets, the generic form of Cortef, are a synthetic version of cortisol—your body’s natural stress hormone. They are commonly prescribed for adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease), congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and as an anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressant in a wide range of conditions.
Hydrocortisone is classified as a glucocorticoid, helping replace deficient cortisol and manage symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalance.

Trusted treatment for Addison’s disease and CAH
Also used for inflammatory or autoimmune conditions
Available in 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg tablets

Hydrocortisone is typically prescribed for:
Primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease)
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
