Hydrocortisone Help

**jp_blois** · 05-07-2006, 04:37 PM

I have some hydrocortisone I am thinking about using as a bit of a painkiller before a competition. Before you start on me, yes I know it's catabolic so it's the sort of thing I doubt I'd be doing any more often than say once a year.

It is Solu-cortef 100mg powder for injection. As in the pics. One thing I don't get is do I have to mix it with water for injection and then shake before loading the syringe? If so, then how much water?

Next question would be can I take it in the same injection as Test Enth (which is oil based) or should they be separate?

And finally, how long for it to 'kick in', and how long to wear off?

Thanks for your help bros & hos

mix it with bac. water.

the dose for succinate is 100-250mg.
onset of the drug administerd IM is 20min.; peaks 4-8 hours and the
duration is 1-1/5 days.

metabolized by liver excreted in urine

also taper off this drug.
but if your only using it once then you shouldnt have to taper. (how many days is this comp?)

have you taken this before?

i would try it out and see how you react
so that there are no suprises come game day.

not that anything should happen.

these are some of the adverse reactions.
everything has lots of adverse reactions so this shouldn't scare you.
(blurred vision, flushing, sweating, higher risk of GI bleeding)

Thanks heaps Peump for your help. But now I have more questions... Like Bac water - what is it and where do I get it, and how much of it do I use? And what's wrong with water for injection like I have already?

the dose for succinate is 100-250mg

Given each vial is 100mg, I would need 1 to 2.5 vials worth?

how many days is this comp?

Three. Start friday morning, finish Sunday afternoon... when do you suggest I shoot up?

have you taken this before?

No. Hence all my questions!

Also::: still unanswered is whether I can load it at the same time as Test Enth and do the 2 (cortisone & test) in one shot. Thoughts and helpful comments very muh appreciated... Thanks

if it came with some kind of water then that is fine to use.

if not then you can get bac. water here

yes. but,
that depends on how much you want to take.

Three. Start friday morning, finish Sunday afternoon... when do you suggest I shoot up?

when do you have the pain. before the ride? if so then i would take it just before.
after the first day? in that case i would wait until day two.
i still think that it is important to try it out and see how it effects you, before you take it and compete.

still unanswered is whether I can load it at the same time as Test Enth and do the 2 (cortisone & test) in one shot.

some say, not mix oil and water injections. I don't think it really matters.
does you test-e injection day fall on what will be your cortisone injection day?

listen, i have never used this before i just have alot of medical refrence books. before you decide to go with my advice i strongly suggest that you get a second third and maybe fourth opinion.

as far as "how much water to use"
if the vial has 100mg of the drug then it will always have 100mg of the drug.

therefore if you put 1cc of water your mixture will yield 100mg per 1ml.

if you put 10cc of water in the vial your mixture will yield 10mg per 1 ml.

if it came with some solution then just use all of that.

your going to inject the whole vial so it doesn't matter if you use 1, 2, 3, cc's
just use enough to dissolve all of the powder inside the vial.

1cc will most likely be sufficient
