I just started my daughter on Alkindi Sprinkle 2mg Capsules for her adrenal insufficiency. The doctor says these little capsules will help replace the cortisol her body isn't making. Has anyone else given these to their kids? I'm curious about real-world experiences, especially side effects. The list is long, and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I want to make sure I'm prepared. When I search online it's hard to find personal experiences to go with the medical information.

I've been prescribed Cormax 0.05% Topical Scalp Solution for my psoriasis, and I'm a bit hesitant to start using it due to the long list of potential side effects. Has anyone else used this medication? How well did it work for you, and did you experience any of the more serious side effects? I'd love to hear your experiences and any advice you might have. The prescription is for about 3 months of daily application, and I'm curious if it's worth the risk for such an extended period. Is the steroid base very harsh on the scalp or is this safer than other steroid creams with skin thinning and other issues? I've also heard that this solution can cause thinning of the skin. Is that common with long-term use, and how noticeable is the effect? I'm not sure if this will make my hair thin out and eventually fall out, which is my top concern before starting. What should I expect for the first couples of weeks of application?
