Janet T.I’ve never posted here but should probably start. I’m a 52 year old woman with CAH (not salt losing type). I took Cortef for years, then Prednisone and now Dex for years and years. My mom used to crush Cortef in a spoonful of water, but it was absolutely the worst tasting stuff, so I learned to swallow pills whole at a very early age! Anyway, I have never had any cavities in my entire life! But again, I never chewed!
