As far as possible, the information given in these pages reflects best practice within the UK regarding medication and medical care. This may differ from the approach adopted in other countries. Please be aware that endocrinologists do not agree in all respects as to what is best practice in the diagnosis and care of Addison's disease, either within the UK or internationally. Where the ADSHG becomes aware of significant divergences we will seek comment from adrenal specialists, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to represent all points of view.
