Julia SWe have had wonderful results. My daughter’s side effect wasn’t weight gain it was slow to no growth. She is growing beautifully now with levels perfect as well as bone age! I actually have divided the pill into 1/8ths. It’s not exact but I do know how much she gets per day and that is good enough! I try to make the largest doses for 3am and 7am and the smaller at noon and 5:30. That’s about as exact as I can get it....if only there was a 1 or 2mg of Cortef!!!!!! My other dream besides a time released capsule! (and of course a cure!) Julia
