General Do not insert any part of the aerosol container directly into the anus. Contents of the container are under pressure. Do not burn or puncture the aerosol container. Do not store at temperatures above 120°F. Because Cortifoam ® is not expelled, systemic hydrocortisone absorption may be greater from Cortifoam ® than from corticosteroid enema formulations. If there is not evidence of clinical or proctologic improvement within two or three weeks after starting Cortifoam ® therapy, or if the patient's condition worsens, discontinue the drug.
