General information

Hydrocortisone (cortisol) is a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal cortex. As a drug, it is used for treatment of various immune, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions (DrugBank).

A living WHO guideline on drugs for covid-19 (as of March 3, 2022) strongly recommends in favour of the use of corticosteroids in severe or critical COVID-19 cases. Alternative regimens considered acceptable are based on dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, or prednisone equivalents.
