Welcome to EmpowHER. Treatment of adrenal insufficiency involves replacing, or substituting, the hormones that the adrenal glands are not making. Cortisol is replaced with a synthetic glucocorticoid such as hydrocortisone, prednisone, or dexamethasone. It's important to discuss this with your doctor and he or she can find the right treatment for you.
