How can I get hold of Hydrocortisone without LACTOSE?
The full list of documents for all UK licensed products is available here:
products.mhra.gov.uk/?subst...
I am afraid I do not know any technique other than working your way through the list and checking ingredients for each and every potentially suitable product.
The EMC site has a couple that appear to be free of lactose but I have no idea if they are what you need. (EMC is not complete like the MHRA site.):
Plenadren 5 mg modified release tablets
medicines.org.uk/emc/produc...
Alkindi 5 mg granules in capsules for opening
medicines.org.uk/emc/produc...
If none is suitable, I am afraid you might have to start looking at "specials" - whether compouned or special imports. For either you will need to find a helpful pharmacist.

Yes there are lactose free hydrocortisone tablets according to pituitary.org.uk/news/2018/...
I imagine you would need your GP to state this brand on your prescription or ask the pharmacist to get it in for you.
Resolution is a lactose free version of Hydrocortisone, ask your GP to specify it on your prescription.
Thanks everyone! My Pharmacist has never heard of Resolution..so I will pursue with my Gp
The product appears only recently to have been approved (end of last year) - and is named Hydventia. Your pharmacist might find that useful information.
This is a summary of the Public Assessment Report (PAR) for Hydventia 10 mg Tablets (PL10321/0210) and Hydventia 20 mg Tablets (PL10321/0211).
