1. WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Alkindi is intended as a replacement hormone therapy in instances of
adrenal gland insufficiency in
infants, children and adolescents (from birth up to 18 years of age).
THERAPEUTIC GROUP – the medicine belongs to the group of
corticosteroids for systemic use –
glucocorticoids.
Alkindi contains a substance called hydrocortisone, an alternative
version of cortisol, which is the
natural hormone released into the body by the adrenal glands. When
these glands are not fully
functioning, the amount of cortisol secreted is reduced. Alkindi
constitutes a replacement for the
natural hormone.
