Hisone is a corticosteroid containing Hydrocortisone, used to treat various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Hydrocortisone works by reducing inflammation and controlling the immune system’s response, helping to manage symptoms of diseases like arthritis, skin disorders, and allergies. It is used both for short-term flare-ups and for long-term management of chronic conditions. It is also helpful in treating conditions like adrenal insufficiency, where the body doesn't produce enough natural corticosteroids.
