Introduction: Current management of intercurrent illness (ICI) in adrenal insufficiency (AI) is inadequate. We attempted to optimise ICI regimens with pharmacokinetic simulations of a dual-release (DR) hydrocortisone (HC) and tested them in a formal clinical trial.Methods: This work consisted of: i) dosing recommendations in episodes of mild ICI with DR-HC using simulations with a population pharmacokinetic model, ii) collection of ICI episodes with incr...
