Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Addison disease is a condition where the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones, particularly cortisol and aldosterone. Corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone, prednisone, and dexamethasone are commonly used to replace these hormones in patients with Addison disease. Antidiuretics are used to reduce urine output, antithyroids are used to treat hyperthyroidism, thyroid supplements are used to treat hypothyroidism, and growth hormones are not typically used to treat Addison disease.
