Instructions for Patients Taking Cortef

Cortef 5 mg may be taken three times daily with meals. Some people prefer to take it twice daily, 10 mg in the morning and 5-10 mg around 4 pm. Because cortisol is a natural hormone it will not interfere with taking any other medication. If you develop a respiratory infection or go through a period of extreme stress you may need to temporarily increase your dose of cortef (up to 20 mg four times daily).
