Description

Hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate is a corticosteroid that has been used to treat bowel disease, skin cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate is available in the form of microparticles for oral administration. Hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against some bacteria, such as E. coli, without affecting the normal flora. It also has antiinflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. Hydrocortisone 17-propionate 21-acetate can be used as an adjunctive treatment for inflammatory bowel disease in geriatric patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who are not responding adequately to conventional therapy.
