| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel

| Description: |
Cortisol is a hormone made by the adrenal glands. Some disorders such as arthritis, skin disorders and asthma can be treated with synthesised cortisol, called cortisone or corticosteroids. A common side effect of such treatment is osteoporosis. High doses of cortisol-like drugs over a long period of time can disrupt the workings of the pituitary and the adrenal glands and prompt a severe drop in the body's own cortisol production.
