| 1 | Colitis | The accordion style applicator is terrible. Impossible to do myself!!! | F | 48 | 14 days 60mg 1X day | 7/13/2020 | 5 | UC | Just irritation from inserting a foreign object. (enema nozzle) | Relieved a lot of rectal pain. | M | 66 | 4 days | 6/18/2008 | 4 | IBS | Just the fact that it was messy to use. I am going to ask my Dr. if I can do a tap water enema before the cortisone enema so that it is less messy. | Enemas are never any fun, even little ones like this..... It seems to be helping, though. I am using cortenema for 14 days in the evening until my next appointment. Be careful with this. It likes to sneak up and "OUT" later when you are not expecting it. | F | 36 | 7 days | 3/8/2006 | 4 | Inflamed rectal tissue | It was difficult to hold in. The next time I used it I first took a tap water enema to get everything out. This made it much easier to hold for the prescribed time. I think it also made it absorb better as the symptoms were less the second time around. | F | 36 | 14 days | 9/26/2005 | 3 | UC | none | none | M | 24 | 6 days | 6/29/2003 |
CORTENEMA (HYDROCORTISONE): This medication is used to treat a variety of skin conditions (e.g., insect bites, poison oak/ivy, eczema, dermatitis, allergies, rash, itching of the outer female genitals, anal itching). Hydrocortisone reduces the swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in these types of conditions. This medication is a mild corticosteroid. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
