DESCRIPTION

Hydrocortisone acetate is a corticosteroid designed chemically as pregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, 21-(acetyloxy)-11, 17-dihydroxy-(11β) with the following structural formula:

Each suppository for rectal administration contains hydrocortisone acetate, USP 30 mg in a specially blended hydrogenated vegetable base.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

In normal subjects, about 26% of hydrocortisone acetate is absorbed when the hydrocortisone acetate suppository is applied to the rectum. Absorption of hydrocortisone acetate may vary across abraded or inflamed surfaces.

Topical steroids are primarily effective because of their anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive action.

PRECAUTIONS

Do not use hydrocortisone acetate suppositories unless adequate proctologic examination is made.

If irritation develops, the product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.

In the presence of an infection, the use of an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be instituted. If a favorable response does not occur promptly, hydrocortisone acetate should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled.

Carcinogenesis

No long-term studies in animals have been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of corticosteroid suppositories.

Pregnancy Category C

In laboratory animals, topical steroids have been associated with an increase in the incidence of fetal abnormalities when gestating females have been exposed to rather low dosage levels. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.

Hydrocortisone acetate suppositories should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the risk of the fetus. Drugs of this class should not be used extensively on pregnant patients, in large amounts, or for prolonged periods of time.

It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk, and because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from hydrocortisone acetate suppositories, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE

Drug abuse and dependence have not been reported in patients treated with hydrocortisone acetate suppositories.

OVERDOSAGE

If signs and symptoms of systemic overdosage occur, discontinue use.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

FOR RECTAL ADMINISTRATION. Detach one suppository from strip of suppositories. Hold suppository upright and carefully separate tabs at top opening and pull downward from the pointed end to expose the suppository. Remove the suppository from the pocket. Avoid excessive handling of suppository which is designed to melt at body temperature. Insert one suppository rectally, pointed end first. Insert one suppository in the rectum twice daily, morning and night for two weeks, in nonspecific proctitis. In more severe cases, one suppository three times a day or two suppositories twice daily. In factital proctitis, the recommended duration of therapy is six to eight weeks or less, according to the response of the individual case.
