Hydrocortisone seems to be the preferred medication as it is supposed to be the closest to our natural cortisone. However, it has a short half life and many patients find they swell or get cushingoid symptoms easily on it. The medicine Prednisolone is a longer acting medication that can also be used and better for those who aren't great or have a lifestyle that isn't conducive to multiple medicine dosages. Dexamethasone is a strong medication that has one of the longest half lives of the oral meds. It can also be used during the initial testing phases for most individuals without altering certain lab results. Florinef is used for AI patients that cannot produce aldosterone and have issues with low sodium and high potassium to help regulate the electrolyte imbalances. Solu-cortef emergency injection, or similar, should also be kept in person in case of crisis.
