Cortifoam (hydrocortisone acetate) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Cortifoam (hydrocortisone acetate)
There are no side effects to using cortifoam on a short term basis. I usually only need to use it 2 or 3 days for relief from bleeding. If I am very inflamed, it burns a little at first. The burning is minor and quickly goes away.
CORTIFOAM (HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE): This medication is used to treat a certain intestinal problem known as ulcerative colitis of the rectum, also called ulcerative proctitis. It does not cure this condition but it may relieve rectal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools caused by swelling (inflammation). Hydrocortisone belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids. This medication works by decreasing inflammation directly in the rectum. It is usually used in people who cannot use corticosteroid enemas. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I was on the increased dose for 2 months. Did not have problems on the lower dose. If anyone has had similar experience...HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO GET DRUG OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM AND FEEL NORMAL?

The side effects were hard, but the withdrawal is worse!Went off cold turkey because my doctor insisted that there would be no withdrawals from this medication.I quit 3 weeks ago and I am still feeling the effects.The first week was pure hell. Tremors, nausea, terrible headaches AND EXTREME fatigue.Still feeling the fatigue after 3 weeks, but it is more bare able.
I would never recommend it to anyone. I would never take lunesta again.
Actually got rid of my migraines (life long sufferer) in addition to stopping a severe flow of blood that almost killed me. I plan to be on it 2 more months and hope to be in menopause by then.
As with any medication I'm sure it can effect different people in a whole range of ways but for me it is a good medication.
