Why Is Phosphorous Supplement Prescribed While Suffering From Addison S Disease?
My daughter’s doctor just prescribed phosforous (?) for her after just being released from the hospital for an Addison”s disease crisis and the flu. I never heard of anyone being low on phosforous. Would you please tell me what that means. Thanks

General & Family Physician, Dr. Varinder's Response
Hello,
She would have been prescribed prednisolone and not phosphorus. As Addison patient is deficient in the steroid.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
