BUMP: Re: High BP and pulse on HC

[Guest guest]

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.

Pulse is in the high 90's.
