“Following years of hard work with Professor Karim Meeran, Endocrinologist at Imperial College, London, Genesis Pharmaceuticals have launched new doses of Hydrocortisone instant release tablets, including lower strengths 2.5mg and 5mg. This fantastic development removes the step of breaking tablets, giving people with Addison’s disease and adrenal insufficiency a single tablet with the dose they require, making dosing in day-to-day life easier and more accurate.”
