Greenstone Generic Hydrocortisone
UpdatedI am a 69 year old female looking for a pharmacy in or near Hamburg, NY that carries Greenstone generics and specifically hydrocortisone. My reason for requesting this better generic was that I have recently been diagnosed with Addison's Primary, after suffering and dealing with adverse effects since at least 2005 for two days, then again in 2012 for 9 days until getting what we now know was an incorrect diagnosis of SIADH. I researched the hydrocortisone generic Greenstone was far better to use. I could use some assistance in finding just who carries this brand of generic. Thank you.

Hello, Diane! How are you?
I'm sorry, but unfortunately, there is no listing of what pharmacy carries the product from any given manufacture, because such information is very dynamic, and may change, at any time, depending on what company was offering the cheapest price when they needed to restock their supply. The only thing you can really do is ask around at your local pharmacies to see which manufacturer's product they carry. NDC code: 59762-0073
The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, fluid retention, and weight gain.
However, the one that worked best for someone else may not work best for you, so don't be afraid to try others, as well.
Are you on any other medications?
You can request a small accommodating pharmacy to special order it for you. They will find it for you they sure can do it.
Ask Walgreens to get it for you. They can. Also, why not just use Cortef name brand? More expensive, but it's worth it. You won't want Greenstone after you use Cortef. Many of the generic HC cause issues, except Cortef and the close 2nd if Greenstone. But Cortef > Greenstone
Thank you all for your thoughtful information...my Doctor put in a request for Cortef, which I am now taking with less side effects.
