    GlossaryAdrenal Suppression

    adrenal glands produce insufficient steroid hormones, especially cortisol

    Adrenal Suppression, also known as Adrenal Gland Suppression, occurs when the adrenal glands produce insufficient amounts of steroid hormones, particularly cortisol. This condition can result from prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, which can inhibit the adrenal glands' natural hormone production. Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, and low blood pressure, and it requires careful management to avoid serious health complications.
