Cortisone Acetate (cortisone acetate)

Cortisone is a glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Cortisone (as the acetate) or hydrocortisone is usually the corticosteroid of choice for replacement therapy in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency, because these drugs have both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid properties. Concomitant administration of a more potent mineralocorticoid (fludrocortisone) may be required in some patients. For anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive uses, synthetic glucocorticoids which have minimal mineralocorticoid activity are preferred.
