Good morning is this German corhydron like the Polish one in the second picture suffers from ulcerative colitis and I used corhydron as a rectal suspension alone at home I dissolved it myself and did rectal infusions myself now I live in Germany and I am looking for a replacement to continue making corhydron ingots at home it works best for me whether this corhydron German pfizer can be used for rectal infusions the same?

Corhydron is the trade name of a drug containing hydrocortisone available in Poland.

These drugs can be considered equivalents, they contain hydrocortisone in the form of hydrosuccinate. However, they are most likely to differ in dosage. The picture shows two doses of Pfizer Hydrocortison: 200mg/250ml and 100mg/250ml, giving 125mg/ml and 25ml/ml respectively. Polish Corhydron comes in doses of 25ml/ml and 100ml/ml. If you use this higher dose (200mg/250ml), therefore you feel a stronger effect of the drug and therefore consider it a better version of the Polish Corhydron.
