I give Stephen pills because of the quality issue with the liquid. I started him on it over a year or so ago. He is 5 years old now. He takes 5mg (one pill) cortef and 1 pill florinef (.1mg) at 7 am; 1cc liquid at 3 pm; and 1/2 pill cortef at 10 pm. He was on 1/2 pill at 3 pm but it was too much cortef. preston@kreative.net I have a ped endo - Dr. Link - 703 849-8440..... call her and she will call you back.
