I was using 10mg Pill of HC which I would get from Wallgreen Pharmacy and the Manufacturer was Par Pharmaceutical which was a pill with a V printed on one side, possibly belong to Qualitest or the two companies have blended together, I thought I was feeling that working, sometime too much, maybe, I switched pharmacy and now using CVS, Hydrocortisone is now coming from Greenstone, a generic of Cortef with this name printed to one side, looking on line this should be the best out there since it is identical to the Brand name Cortef (super expensive) and lots of people on line complaining about the V pill, well I have been on for 4 days and I get sleepy again during the day so I don't believe it is working as much, or maybe it works differently probably giving a much smoother action

Defy stuff don't have any inside about this, I'm sure Dr. Saya may have some answer about which way to go

Does anyone have some experience with different Manufactuer name of HC?

I've taken brand-name Cortef for many, many years. On a few occasions I have had generics substituted when the pharmacy didn't have enough Cortef in stock. I admit I did wonder if it was as effective, but dismissed it as simple power of suggestion.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
