WHAT ALKINDI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Alkindi contains the active substance hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone
belongs to a group of medicines
known as corticosteroids.
Hydrocortisone is a synthetic version of the natural hormone cortisol.
Cortisol is made by the adrenal
glands in the body. Alkindi is for use in children and adolescents
aged birth to 18 years when the body
is not making enough cortisol, because part of the adrenal gland is
not working (adrenal insufficiency,
often caused by an inherited condition called congenital adrenal
hyperplasia).

resulting from remissions or
exacerbations of the disease, individual responsiveness to the

necessary to increase the dose
temporarily.
