Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Isocort is dessicated sheep adrenal. You get some of all the adrenal hormones, not just hc. Read about it at www.vitaminmd.com/isocort.htm . It doesn't require a prescription. I believe cortef does. I can't remember if cortef is taken only once a day, but isocort must be taken twice a day. I don't know which, if either is best. Blessings, Debbie K.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 from my readings, on this list over the past month or so, it seems the cortef/delta is a little more " potent " than isocort. some people may do fine on the isocort while others simply need the extra *zing* of the cortef/delta. usually, isocort will take longer to show up in affecting symptoms while the cortisone meds seem to work more quickly.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Zerasclair, check out the ADRENAL folder in the FILES section. There is info inside which explains the differences, too. Debbie is correct about Isocort, but you do need to take about 8 of the tabs a day to get the recommended 20 mg. of cortisone. Janie > Isocort is dessicated sheep adrenal.
