Different Potent Glucocorticoids, Different Routes of Exposure but The Same Result: Iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome and Adrenal Insufficiency.

Conclusion: In this series, 85 % of the patients had life-threatening AI and two patients had hypercalcemia. These results pointed out that potent GCs cause serious side effects especially in infants, and the recovery of the HPA axis in children might take as long as 780 days. The parents should be informed regarding the possibility of containing synthetic glucocorticoids in cosmetic products and their side effects. PMID: 32431136 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
