Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sorry for butting in but doesn't SR stand for sustained release? If so, I don't think you are meant to take it at different times throughout the day. I believe it is meant to be taken once, in the morning, and will release slowly over the course of the day. Please correct me someone if I'm wrong.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Oh I see. I'd be curious to hear what the doc says as well. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The SR does stand for sustained release, but my doctor told me take it 4 times a day. I actually have phoned her and waiting for her explanation. Re: Cortisol Dosage Sorry for butting in but doesn't SR stand for sustained release?
