I have not had any trouble getting solucortef recently, either (CT); however I have read that there is a shortage of it. It is listed on the govt website that keeps track of these things (it’s listed as hydrocortisone sodium succinate). http://ashp.org/shortage/#shortages Also, a few endos have mentioned it on the yahoo groups website.
Given that, it’s probably good to be cautious, but not panic. If someone really can’t get it from their pharmacist, I would talk to your doctor about being prepared with an alternative, in the meantime. There are injectable forms of dex and prednisone that can be used, in a pinch. They don’t have the same salt-retaining properties, though, so you may need to give something else, in addition, in a real emergency.
