Overview

Hydrocortison Orion 10mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Hydrocortisone 10mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Hydrocortison Orion 10mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Hydrocortison Orion 10mg Tablet exactly as prescribed, at the specific times of day your doctor has advised, with food if it upsets your stomach. Never miss a dose if you are on replacement therapy, and never stop taking it abruptly – always carry extra tablets with you in case of an unexpected delay in obtaining your next supply.

Dosage

The dose of Hydrocortison Orion 10mg Tablet is individualised by your doctor according to your specific condition – for adrenal insufficiency, doses are usually split through the day to mimic the body’s natural cortisol pattern (a larger dose in the morning, smaller later). Your doctor will also advise how to adjust your dose temporarily during illness, injury, or surgery (“sick day rules”).

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Increased susceptibility to infections

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone or any ingredient in this product
  • Untreated systemic infection (unless the infection itself is being specifically treated alongside)

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Rifampicin, phenytoin, or carbamazepine can lower hydrocortisone levels, and your doctor may need to increase your replacement dose
  • Other corticosteroids should not be added without your doctor’s knowledge, to avoid excessive combined steroid exposure
  • NSAIDs taken together increase the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers

Quick Tips

  • Never miss a dose of your replacement therapy – set reminders if needed
  • Follow your doctor’s “sick day rules” to increase your dose temporarily during fever, vomiting, infection, or before surgery
  • Never stop this medicine abruptly, even briefly, without medical advice
  • Always carry a steroid treatment card and consider a medical alert bracelet
  • Keep a small emergency supply of tablets with you when travelling
