Hi ,

You can use 1% Hc cream instead. But it over the counter. It saved

me my tummy was in bits!! When I was in need of explanation of how to

use Barb and Val posted this:

1% HC cream contians 10MG per 1/4 teaspoon.

I put it on my abdomen, trunk, hips, mainly, but have put in on

thighs

and on shins.

1/4 tsp (10 mg) is rather a lot to rub into a small area, so I use

larger areas of skin for my larger doses.

I normally use only the cream, and doses equal 10 mg (1/4 tsp), 7.5

mg

(1/8 tsp plus 1/16 tsp), 5 mg (1/8 tsp), 2.5 mg (1/16 tsp).

>>>It has been calculated that each gram of HC cream from the

drugstore/grocery store/Walmart has 11.66mg of cortisol which you

could round off to 10mg and that 1 gram equals 1/4 tsp.<<<

You should be able to find an oral syringe (for dispensing liquid

medications to babies) at the drug store in the same section with

thermometers and daily pill boxes. You can use this conversion to

figure out your doses:

1.25ML of cream equals 1/4 tsp which equals 10MG HC

What I'm doing is popping out the plunger, squirting the HC tube into

the syringe, and then just squeezing out what we need for each dose.

Mine even has a cap. For simplicity's sake, I just use .6 ml = 5 mg

HC. This equates to moving the plunger down by 3 notches, since each

notch = .2 ml. Also, everyone says you get better absorption with the

cream anyway, so rounding down makes sense.

In the actual mathematical calculation, 1/4 tsp = 11.66mg (they

rounded

down to 10 for simplicity). So technically, .6 ml = 5.6 mg, but

again,

they rounded down to 5 for simplicity's sake. I guess you could round

up, then it would be easy to remember that .1 ml = 1 mg. And

actually,

since absorption is better through the skin, this might make more

sense. In the end though, I don't think these minor roundings are

significant. It's the rhythm and consistency of your dosing that

matters.

, I got 1 ml syringes and fill to .9 which is equal to 7.5mg of

HC then if I want 5mg I squeeze from .9 down to .3 and for 2.5mg

it's .3 down to 0...

Hope this isn't too confusing! I'm sure you're tummy will be better

in no time as soon as you make the change over. Mine took a week to

calm down but I think I had some sort of infection going on there too.

All the best to you,

Sara

Is there any way to take the oral hc bucally or sublingually?

[Guest guest]

I would not recommend ti as puttin g it in a small area that may be

prone to fungsl infections would be asking for troubke, though I have

not heard of it causing probems that way so may be worth a try.
