If isocort is about 1.5 mgs per pellet - could someone ( ie - me) take 5 mg of cortef in the morning instead of the 2-3 pellets of cortef that Val suggested? I am broke and cannot buy isocort now but I do have cortef as I used to use it?Sent from my iPhone

Conversion issues aside, I'm not sure there is any danger is just switching over to Isocort. I would err on the side of caution that the pellets only contain 1.5 mg HC. That's my experience anyway, although they could be a tad more. I think you will quickly tell by symptoms if you're at the right dose.

I know in one post Val said 3 Isocort were about 5 mg, so you could go by that, too.
