  • Title: [The metabolism of hydrocortisone, prednisolone and fluocortolone (author's transl)].
    Author: Gleispach H, Porta S.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1981 Nov 13; 93(21):671-3. PubMed ID: 7324480.
    Abstract:
    The plasma levels of hydrocortisone, prednisolone and fluocortolone were studied in healthy males by a competitive protein-binding technique after separation by thin-layer chromatography. Cortisone showed a mean morning level of 440 nmol/l +/- 165 nmol/l and a half life of 4.8 hours. The half life of prednisolone was determined after intravenous injection of 25 mg and found to be 2.4 hours and that of fluocortolone, after oral administration of 60 mg, was calculated to be 1.7 hours.
