Adrenal Crisis Treatments

Treatment

Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:

Fluid Replacement

Almost all patients with adrenal crisis are dehydrated and will need large amount of fluids containing sodium and sugar.

Medications

Steroid and antibiotics drugs are needed in an adrenal crisis. If you are vomiting or unconscious, these medications will be given by injection or through an IV (intravenous).
