Endocrine Disorders
The endocrine system is a network of glands that make hormones. When the body produces too much or too little of a hormone, or stops responding to it properly, the result is an endocrine disorder.
Key points
- Because the endocrine system spans glands from the brain to the pelvis, endocrine disorders can affect growth, metabolism, mood and reproduction in very different ways.
- A single hormone imbalance can produce symptoms in several organs at once, making the condition easy to miss without targeted testing.
Medicines listed for Endocrine Disorders
The one product listed for endocrine disorders here is Methylprednisolone, a corticosteroid supplied as Medrol in tablet form at four strengths. Corticosteroids can reduce inflammation and dampen immune activity, a role that overlaps with some endocrine conditions where the body’s own hormone balance is disrupted.
