Drug Reviews Drug and Medication User Reviews
I’ve had Addison’s disease since I was 21, I’ve gone into Addisonian Crisis multiple times (more than 10) since being diagnosed and solu-cortef has been what’s allowed me to pull through. If we were talking about Cortef (or generic hydrocortisone) I would likely give it fewer stars as my endo says I metabolize it quickly and require dexamethasone on top of my Cortef.
I have Addison's disease. We have tried 4 other medications my body rejected each, I've been on cortisol for 9 months. I have gained about 35 pounds, but the meds are is helpful I haven't had a cortisol crash in 3 months.
