肾上腺皮质增生症新药氢化可的松片在哪里能买到？

(hydrocortisone), also known as cortisol, is an adrenocortical hormone extracted from the adrenal cortex that has the strongest effect on carbohydrate metabolism, and is a type of glucocorticoid. Hydrocortisone tablets are mainly used for the replacement treatment of adrenal insufficiency and the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It can also be used for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, gout, bronchial asthma, allergic diseases, and can be used for severe infection and anti-shock treatment.

The New England Journal of Medicine reported on January 10 that researchers from Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center and other places confirmed that hydrocortisone could not improve survival or reverse shock symptoms, whether for all septic shock patients or only for those who did not respond to adrenocorticotropic hormone; however, for patients who had reversed the shock process, hydrocortisone could speed up recovery from shock.

Hydrocortisone tablets have been approved for marketing in China. As we all know, the high price is often one of the main factors that hinders the wider clinical application of hydrocortisone. It is currently known that the hydrocortisone tablets sold in Hong Kong, China, are currently the most cost-effective, about 1,000$.

This price is relatively cheap in comparison. Patients can not only benefit from it through continued treatment, but also reduce part of their out-of-pocket expenses. Moreover, based on the recommended drug dosage of 20-30mg per day, patients usually need to purchase 1-2 boxes of the drug a month. In this case, patients will need to spend 1,000-2,000$ a month on medication. This price is still within the acceptable range for many domestic patients.
