Summary
The study aims to evaluate the tolerability and acceptance of two compounded formulations of hydrocortisone prepared in the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (VHUH) Pharmacy Service: one, an oral suspension and the other, chewable tablets prepared using a volume dosing device (M3DIMAKER 3D printer). The main goal is to enhance patient care and adherence among pediatric patients.
This prospective, experimental study employs a randomized, crossover design and will take place solely at VHUH. Approximately 25-30 eligible patients diagnosed with adrenal hyperplasia, isolated primary adrenal insufficiency, or panhypopituitarism will be recruited. Each patient will receive each hydrocortisone formulation for a period of 3 months, totaling 6 months of treatment per patient. All patients will receive the medication at their usual dose and both formulations to assess tolerability and acceptance.
