Other name of hydrocortisone?

What other names are used for hydrocortisone?

Hydrocortisone is also commonly known by these names:

- Hydrocortisone acetate (a common form used in creams/ointments and some injections)
- Hydrocortisone sodium succinate (a common form used in injectable products)

Why do hydrocortisone products have different “other names”?

Many hydrocortisone products use a specific “salt” or “ester” form to change how they’re formulated and how they’re absorbed. That’s why you may see names like hydrocortisone acetate or hydrocortisone sodium succinate instead of just “hydrocortisone.”

Are there any brand names?

Brand names vary by country. If you share the country (or the label text you’re looking at), I can help identify the specific product name that corresponds to hydrocortisone.
