I'm looking to use hydrocortisone tablets for adrenals but every brand I see has either lactose or corn flour/starch in them. Are there any without either of these? Thanks

Paul This article from the Pituitary Foundation is dated April last year so things may have moved on in the intervening 12 months; but it states "As such they are the only immediate release hydrocortisone tablets available in the UK to be lactose free and for those patients with a lactose intolerance this has proved to be beneficial to them."
