In my case, the liquid was that BAD! My ped endo had to keep doubling the doses with no change in blood levels so when we finally switched to the pill, the doctors couldn't believe that such a large pharmaceutical company could make a mistake that they blamed the children and their changing metabolism. So their levels were very high and the doctors tried to match the pill dose to the liquid dose only to find out that it severely oversuppressed them. I hope this will correct itself very soon. Keep in mind also that this is just a theory of mine.LynnT
