Cortisone is a pregnane (21-carbon) steroid hormone. It is a naturally-occurring corticosteroid metabolite that is also used as a pharmaceutical prodrug; it is not synthesized in the adrenal glands.

Cortisone is converted back to the active steroid cortisol by the action of the enzyme 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1,...

My cortisol level was very low 1.3 for for asthma I take a lot of prednisone but will oxycodone or morphine effect my cortisol level ## My cortisol level was very low 1.3 I have severe asthma and take a lot of prednisone and solu medrol question would oxycodone or morphine time release effect my cortisol level ## Adrenal insufficiency is usually caused by taking steroids in high doses and then withdrawing from the abruptly. So no, it isn't likely that the narcotics have had anything to do with it. How much Prednisone do you take, how often do you take it and for how long of a time period? While taking high doses for a long period of time, your adrenal gland detects that there are already enough steroids in the body, so it stops producing cortisol. A slow withdrawal must be done to a...

Opites make my BP drop 80/50. I am on Fentanyl Patch 25mcg and feel very dizzy & sleepy. Think my BP is dropping dangerously, i have had lots of fluids & hung upside down off the bed. I am very sweaty. Think i need to up my dose of Prednisone but dont know by how much. Can u pls help me. ## Hello, Cathy! How are feeling? Those could also be just side effects from the Fentanyl patch, which might be why the extra fluids didn't help. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Do you have a blood pressure monitor to check with, when this happens? ## Dear Verwon, thank you for your help. I think you are right that it is the Fentanyl. I will invest in a Blo...
