Cortef 5 Mg

Updated

I was recently prescribed 5 mg of Cortef and I have been prolonging going on it because of the potential weight gain. Can anyone give me any ideas to the side effects of going on such a low dose of Cortef? It would be greatly appreciated.

I too started on a low dose, 5mgs last Friday. I have been on Isocort for 7 months...with some help, but causing cortisol to spike around noon. I am feeling quite nauseated right now on the Cortef. Have adrenal fatigue and other related health issues. Have you gained weight since taking in Septemeber?
I do not think this dosage is enough...

Cortef contains the active ingredient Hydrocortisone, and while the FDA does list possible weight gain as a side effect, it is not usually a severe amount for most people that experience it. Other side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, sedation, insomnia, and acne.

Ref: Hydrocortisone Information

What condition are you taking it to treat? Are you on any other medications?
