Avoid under- or overdosing in the treatment of adrenal insufficiency

Hydrocortisone has a narrow therapeutic dosing window.2 Treating children outside this window can result in poor health outcomes beyond youth and into adulthood.3-6

Dosing inaccuracy is possible with pill manipulation and compounded formulations at home and at the compounding pharmacy

There is a risk of under- or overdosing due to imprecise measurements in crushing or splitting tablets and the variability in physical dimensions of the resulting product.7

Guidelines exist for healthcare professionals; however, the methods caregivers use to manipulate tablets may vary depending on7:

  • Required dose
  • Type of product(s)
  • HCP advice
  • Home equipment
