My son had a Dr.'s appt. today. His Dr. said cortef will no longer be used because of the side effects. He has been put on a different brand of hydrocotizone tablet. Has anyone else heard about this? I'm goin to visit a few medical web sites, in the mean time, I suggest those mothers who have their sons and daughters on cortef talk to their Dr.s. Hello everyone:) I'm sorry I haven't visited the sight for a while. I have a new, high paying, high stress, long hours, job. Once I get used to my new schedule I will be visiting as often as I had in the past.
