Effectiveness
How Vosol Hc Affects Patients
Hydrocortisone works by attaching to a particular receptor in the body, which helps stop inflammation and reduce symptoms. It is considered to be a safe medication, and its effects usually last for a moderate amount of time. If a patient experiences irritation or sensitivity to the drug, they should stop taking it.
How Vosol Hc works in the body
Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation and swelling in the body. These drugs work by targeting certain genes that control inflammation. Corticosteroids prevent neutrophils from dying and slow down the production of molecules that cause inflammation. Low doses have an anti-inflammatory effect, but high doses can weaken your immune system. In addition, high doses of corticosteroids can raise sodium levels and lower potassium levels in the body.

The prescribed dosage of Vosol Hc is contingent upon the determined disorder, including Ophthalmia, Sympathetic, Drug Allergy and Sarcoidosis. The measure of dosage is contingent upon the technique of delivery (e.g. Topical or Auricular (otic)) specified in the table below.
