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.

community EMA is re-examining Winlevi (clascoterone at lower concentration)

in Treatment 8 upvotes 1 year ago

Clascoterone in Winlevi, a topical AR antagonist, is being re-examined due to concerns about HPA axis suppression in adolescents, but it's unlikely to be banned for adult use in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The European Medicines Agency recommended refusing Winlevi for acne vulgaris, but this may not affect Breezula's approval for AGA.
