A member asked:
In adrenal insufficiency supplementation, does one single dose of 20 mg with a high peak cause more health problems than spreading out 10, 5 and 5 mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adrenal: There is no quick and easy answer because your dose of cortisol will not be constant. Initially you are likely to start with a high dose followed by changes (downwards) as things cone under control. Your doctor will help you through this and you will feel much better.
