MY (NOW 3 1/2 YR OLD) WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SALT-WASTING CAH AT 8 DAYS OLD. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER STARTING THE MEDS HE BECAME FUSSY AND SEEMED TO HAVE "COLIC". I HAD BEEN THROUGH THE COLIC BUSINESS WITH MY DAUGHTER BUT THIS SEEMED DIFFERENT. ONE HOUR AFTER TAKING HIS CORTEF "SUSPENSION",  HE WOULD CRY AND HIS STOMACH SOUNDED LIKE A RAGING OCEAN. WEIRD I THOUGHT, SO I STARTED TIMING IT AND PRAYING THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER BABY WITH COLIC! IT ALL ADDED UP. I WENT TO HIS PEDIATRICIAN AND TOLD HIM I THOUGHT HE NEEDED ZANTAC BECAUSE THE MEDS WERE IRRITATING HIS TUMMY. THE PEDIATRICIAN SPOKE TO A PEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGIST AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME WITH A ZANTAC PRESCRIPTION. IT TOOK A FEW DAYS, BUT HE GOT MUCH BETTER. WE STOPPED USING THE MED AT ABOUT 4 MONTHS OLD. HE HAS BEEN FINE EVER SINCE.

I AM A PHARMACIST SO IT ALL MAKES SINCE TO ME. IF YOU NOTICE THE STICKERS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CORTEF AND FLORINEF PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES, THEY SHOULD ALWAYS SAY TAKE WITH FOOD!! WHEN A BABY TAKES THE MEDS THEY ARE ONLY TAKING THEM WITH "LIQUIDY" FORMULA, NOT REAL FOOD.

HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE!
