The treatment for Addison's disease is based on replacing the hormones that are deficient in the body and usually lasts a lifetime. For glucocorticoid replacement, short-acting hydrocortisone tablets (or their equivalents) are generally used in two or three divided doses per day. For mineralocorticoid needs, fludrocortisone tablets are prescribed. Medication dosages are meticulously adjusted according to the patient's individual requirements and any co-existing conditions. In some cases, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) supplementation may rarely be considered for women with Addison's disease.
