A member asked:
I am on 15mg hydrocortisone daily for my chronic illnesses (im on it for life) - does this make me immunocompromised at this dosage? asking because of coronavirus.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You are relatively immunocompromised so take extra care to avoid others, wash you hands. 100mg Vitamin C sustained release would be helpful.
