Your doctor will adjust the dose of each medicine to meet your body’s needs. People with secondary adrenal insufficiency usually make enough aldosterone, so they don’t need to take this medicine. If your adrenal glands aren’t making aldosterone, you will take a medicine called fludrocortisone, which helps balance the amount of sodium and fluids in your body. Less often, doctors prescribe prednisone or dexamethasone. Hormone replacementĬortisol is replaced with a corticosteroid, most often hydrocortisone, which you take two or three times a day by mouth. You’ll need higher doses during times of physical stress. Your doctor will prescribe hormone medicines to replace the hormones that your adrenal glands aren’t making.
