Pharmacologic Category
  • Corticosteroid, Systemic
Dosing: Adult

Dosage guidance:

Dosing: Individualize dosing depending upon the severity of the disease and clinical response. Once a satisfactory response is achieved, reduce dosage to the lowest possible dose for maintenance. Temporary supplemental doses may be warranted during times of stress (ie, trauma, surgery, severe infection). Discontinuation of therapy requires gradual withdrawal by tapering the dose.

Adrenal insufficiency, chronic

Adrenal insufficiency, chronic (eg, primary, secondary): Oral: 20 to 35 mg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses. Administer the largest dose in the morning upon awakening, followed by next dose 2 hours after lunch (2-dose regimen) or next dose at lunch, followed by smallest dose in the afternoon no later than 4 to 6 hours before bedtime (3-dose regimen) (ES [Bornstein 2016]; ES [Fleseriu 2016]).

Anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive

Anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive: Oral: Initial: 25 to 300 mg/day; adjust dose to patient response.

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer’s labeling; use with caution.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer’s labeling; use with caution.

Dosing: Older Adult

Refer to adult dosing.

Dosing: Pediatric

(For additional information see "Cortisone acetate: Pediatric drug information")

Dosage guidance:

Dosing: Dose depends upon condition being treated and response of patient; dosage for children and adolescents should be based on disease severity and patient response rather than by rigid adherence to dosage guidelines by age, weight, or body surface area. Discontinuation of long-term therapy requires gradual withdrawal by tapering the dose.

Anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive

Anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive: Children and Adolescents: Oral: General range: 0.7 to 10 mg/kg/day; or 20 to 300 mg/m2/day in divided doses every 6 to 8 hours; usual range: 2.5 to 10 mg/kg/day (Nelson 1996; Rudolph 1996); usual adult daily dose range: 25 to 300 mg/day (manufacturer's labeling).

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, maintenance

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, maintenance: Note: Other corticosteroids (eg, hydrocortisone) are preferred over cortisone. Mineralocorticoid (eg, fludrocortisone) and sodium supplementation may be required in salt losers (AAP 2000; ES [Bornstein 2016]; ES [Speiser 2018]; Inada 2004).

Children and Adolescents: Limited data available, variable regimens reported: Oral: 10 to 25 mg/m2/day in 3 divided doses; reported range: 10 to 36 mg/m2/day in divided doses. Individualize dose based on growth, bone age, and hormone levels (AAP 2000; Einaudi 1993; ES [Speiser 2018]; Gomes 2013; Keenan 1990; Moreira 2011). Usual adult daily dose range: 20 to 35 mg/day (ES [Bornstein 2016]). Some experts recommend administering the highest dose first thing in the morning, and lower doses for the last 2 doses to attempt to mimic the normal diurnal variation of endogenous cortisol (ES [Bornstein 2016]; Shulman 2007).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Pediatric

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; use with caution.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Pediatric

There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; use with caution.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Adrenal suppression: May cause hypercortisolism or suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, particularly in younger children or in patients receiving high doses for prolonged periods. HPA axis suppression may lead to adrenal crisis. Withdrawal and discontinuation of a corticosteroid should be done slowly and carefully. Particular care is required when patients are transferred from systemic corticosteroids to inhaled products due to possible adrenal insufficiency or withdrawal from steroids, including an increase in allergic symptoms. Adult patients receiving >20 mg per day of prednisone (or equivalent) may be most susceptible. Fatalities have occurred due to adrenal insufficiency in asthmatic patients during and after transfer from systemic corticosteroids to aerosol steroids; aerosol steroids do not provide the systemic steroid needed to treat patients having trauma, surgery, or infections.

• Anaphylactoid reactions: Rare cases of anaphylactoid reactions have been observed in patients receiving corticosteroids.

• Immunosuppression: Prolonged use of corticosteroids may also increase the incidence of secondary infection, mask acute infection (including fungal infections), prolong or exacerbate viral infections, or limit response to inactivated vaccines. Exposure to chickenpox or measles should be avoided. Corticosteroids should not be used for cerebral malaria or viral hepatitis. Close observation is required in patients with tuberculosis (TB) infection (latent TB) and/or TB reactivity; restrict use in TB disease (active TB) (only fulminating or disseminated TB in conjunction with antituberculosis treatment). Amebiasis should be ruled out in any patient with recent travel to tropical climates or unexplained diarrhea prior to initiation of corticosteroids.

• Kaposi sarcoma: Prolonged treatment with corticosteroids has been associated with the development of Kaposi sarcoma (case reports); if noted, discontinuation of therapy should be considered (Goedert 2002).

• Myopathy: Acute myopathy has been reported with high-dose corticosteroids, usually in patients with neuromuscular transmission disorders; may involve ocular and/or respiratory muscles; monitor creatine kinase; recovery may be delayed.

• Psychiatric disturbances: Corticosteroid use may cause psychiatric disturbances, including severe depression, euphoria, insomnia, mood swings, personality changes, to frank psychotic manifestations. Preexisting psychiatric conditions may be exacerbated by corticosteroid use.

Disease-related concerns:

• Cardiovascular disease: Use with caution in patients with heart failure and/or hypertension; use has been associated with electrolyte disturbances, fluid retention, and hypertension. Use with caution in patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction (MI); left ventricular free wall rupture has been reported after the use of corticosteroids.

• Diabetes: Use with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus; may alter glucose production/regulation leading to hyperglycemia.

• Gastrointestinal disease: Use with caution in patients with GI diseases (diverticulitis, fresh intestinal anastomoses, active or latent peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis [nonspecific) due to perforation risk.

• Head injury: Increased mortality was observed in patients receiving high-dose IV methylprednisolone; high-dose corticosteroids should not be used for the management of head injury.

• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment, including cirrhosis; long-term use has been associated with fluid retention.

• Myasthenia gravis: Use may cause transient worsening of myasthenia gravis (MG) (eg, within first 2 weeks of treatment); monitor for worsening MG (AAN [Narayanaswami 2021]).

• Ocular disease: Use with caution in patients with cataracts and/or glaucoma; increased intraocular pressure, open-angle glaucoma, and cataracts have occurred with prolonged use. Use with caution in patients with a history of ocular herpes simplex; corneal perforation has occurred; do not use in active ocular herpes simplex. Consider routine eye exams in chronic users.

• Osteoporosis: Use with caution in patients with osteoporosis; high doses and/or long-term use of corticosteroids have been associated with increased bone loss and osteoporotic fractures.

• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; fluid retention may occur.

• Seizure disorders: Use with caution in patients with a history of seizure disorder; seizures have been reported with adrenal crisis.

• Systemic sclerosis: Use with caution in patients with systemic sclerosis; an increase in scleroderma renal crisis incidence has been observed with corticosteroid use. Monitor BP and renal function in patients with systemic sclerosis treated with corticosteroids (EULAR [Kowal-Bielecka 2017]).

• Thyroid disease: Changes in thyroid status may necessitate dosage adjustments; metabolic clearance of corticosteroids increases in hyperthyroid patients and decreases in hypothyroid ones.

Special populations:

• Older adult: Because of the risk of adverse effects, systemic corticosteroids should be used cautiously in the elderly in the smallest possible effective dose for the shortest duration.

• Pediatric: May affect growth velocity; growth and development should be routinely monitored in pediatric patients.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Discontinuation of therapy: Withdraw therapy with gradual tapering of dose.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

May cause osteoporosis (at any age) or inhibition of bone growth in pediatric patients. Use with caution in patients with osteoporosis. In a population-based study of children, risk of fracture was shown to be increased with >4 courses of corticosteroids; underlying clinical condition may also impact bone health and osteoporotic effect of corticosteroids (Leonard 2007). Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) may occur, especially with prolonged use. In children, increased IOP has been shown to be dose and age dependent; children 3 to <6 years of age treated with ophthalmic dexamethasone experienced higher peak IOP as compared to children 6 to 10 years (Lam 2005).

Pregnancy Considerations

Cortisone crosses the placenta (Migeon 1957).

Some studies have shown an association between first trimester systemic corticosteroid use and oral clefts; however, information is conflicting and may be influenced by maternal dose, duration/frequency of exposure, and indication for use. Additional data is needed to evaluate any potential risk of systemic corticosteroids and other adverse pregnancy outcomes (eg, gestational diabetes mellitus, low birth weight, preeclampsia, preterm birth) (ACOG 2019; Bandoli 2017; Lunghi 2010; Skuladottir 2014). Hypoadrenalism may occur in newborns following maternal use of corticosteroids in pregnancy; monitor.

Cortisone may be used (alternative agent) to treat primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) during pregnancy. Pregnant patients with PAI should be monitored at least once each trimester (ES [Bornstein 2016]).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Corticosteroids are present in breast milk.

The manufacturer notes that when used systemically, maternal use of corticosteroids have the potential to cause adverse events in a breastfeeding infant (eg, growth suppression, interference with endogenous corticosteroid production).

Breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer in patients taking pharmacologic doses. If there is concern about exposure to the infant, some guidelines recommend waiting 4 hours after the maternal dose of an oral systemic corticosteroid before breastfeeding in order to decrease potential exposure to the breastfeeding infant (based on a study using prednisolone) (Butler 2014; Ost 1985).

Dietary Considerations

May need diet with increased potassium, pyridoxine, vitamin C, vitamin D, folate, calcium, and phosphorus and decreased sodium; may be taken with food to decrease GI upset.

Monitoring Parameters

Serum glucose, electrolytes, BP, weight, presence of infection, bone mineral density; assess HPA axis suppression (eg, ACTH stimulation test, morning plasma cortisol test, urinary free cortisol test); signs and symptoms of behavioral or mood changes; signs and symptoms of Cushing syndrome every 6 months; eye exams (with prolonged use).

Mechanism of Action

Decreases inflammation by suppression of migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversal of increased capillary permeability
