  • Title: Management of pituitary-adrenal suppression secondary to corticosteroid therapy.
    Author: Chamberlin P, Meyer WJ.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1981 Feb; 67(2):245-51. PubMed ID: 7243450.
    Abstract:
    Withdrawal of steroid medications from patients who have been receiving them for management of chronic disease carries the risk of certain serious complications. An understanding of adrenal physiology, coupled with a rational plan for evaluating the individual patient, when necessary, and for protecting against certain stressful situations, should obviate the occurrence of acute adrenal insufficiency.
