About this Publication
Addison's Disease Self Help Group newsletter, issue 106, December 2011
Welcome to the winter 2011 newsletter. Recent drug developments make our top stories once again, with announcements that the UK manufacturer of cortisone acetate has pulled out, while the new modified release hydrocortisone product, Plenadren, has gained marketing approval from the European Marketing Authority. On page 3, our medical advisers offer suggestions on what to do if you have been affected by the sudden loss of cortisone acetate.
