I have been wondering about this method for my son. He is 22 months old, and has gained 3 pounds in the last 12 months. Height has not increased at a normal rate either. I am 5’4, and his father is 5’9, so I would like him to have all the growth potential possible, as he probably is not destined to be very tall anyway. At our last endo visit, he was in the 10th percentile for height, and the 20th for weight. I asked our endo about circadian dosing, and her response was less than encouraging.

My son is on 2.5 mg of cortef @ 7am, 5mg @ 1pm and 5mg @ 7pm. How would I split the doses? What time should they be given? Any thoughts would help!

Thanks!
