Indications and Dosage
Homeopathic Adrenal Cortex (Cortico-adrenale) medications—available as granule tubes, globule doses, or oral ampoules—can be used for a variety of symptoms; therefore, it is not possible to specify the indications and dosage for a particular preparation.

Directions for Use
Remove the tab, turn the Adrenal Cortex (Cortico surrenale) tube upside down, and gently pull the cap. Twist the tube to dispense the desired number of granules into the cap, then place the granules under the tongue. It is recommended not to touch the homeopathic granules or globules with your fingers. The globules from the dose tubes are taken all at once by allowing them to dissolve slowly under the tongue. If a specific dose is not available, take 10 granules of the same dilution.
For ampoules or alcohol-based drops, dissolve them in 100 ml of water (the equivalent of a small glass of water), or swallow them directly. It is recommended to hold them in your mouth for several minutes to ensure better absorption.
- Do not consume astringent substances—such as coffee, tobacco, camphor, mint, or chamomile—within half an hour before taking homeopathic medicines.
- Use a mint-free toothpaste (such as Homéodent Organothérapie Sarcode by Boiron).
The usual dosage is 5 granules, to be taken 3 times a day. It is recommended to let the granules dissolve under the tongue, between meals and away from toothbrushing times. For single doses, take the entire contents at once, allowing them to dissolve under the tongue in the morning on an empty stomach or at bedtime.
How should Cortex Surrénale be taken?
Follow the dosage instructions provided with the medication or those recommended by a healthcare professional to ensure optimal use tailored to your specific situation.
Is Cortex Surrénale suitable for everyone?
Cortex Surrénale can be used by people of all ages experiencing the conditions mentioned. However, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a preliminary evaluation and personalized dosage recommendation.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
The effectiveness of the treatment may vary from person to person. An improvement in symptoms may be observed after a few days or weeks of regular use, but it is important to continue the treatment as recommended to fully benefit from its effects.

Origin and Properties
The adrenal cortex is part of the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, and plays a crucial role in regulating numerous bodily functions, including the stress response, metabolism, and electrolyte balance. In homeopathy, Adrenal Cortex is prepared from adrenal glandular tissue through a process of dilution and potentization to harness its therapeutic effects safely and effectively.

Compounded Preparations
In addition, compounded preparations of Adrenal Cortex can be made using Hahnemannian dilutions starting at 4 CH. These customized preparations are tailored to the patient’s specific symptoms and health condition, offering greater therapeutic flexibility.
Therapeutic Applications
Adrenal Cortex in homeopathy can be used to support adrenal gland function, particularly in cases of adrenal fatigue, chronic stress, or hormonal imbalances. It is also considered for the treatment of immune and inflammatory disorders, where regulation of hormonal and immune responses is sought.
Precautions
Adrenal Cortex contains sucrose and lactose; therefore, it is contraindicated in patients with intolerance to these substances, as well as in those with fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome, sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome.
Administering homeopathic granules to infants and children
For Cortex surrenale (Cortico surrenale) granules or oral ampoules, dissolve them in 100 ml of water. Since the granules take a long time to dissolve, you should prepare the mixture in advance.
Homeopathy and Pregnancy
Cortex Surrenale homeopathic remedies have no chemical toxicity, no contraindications, no interactions with other medications, and no adverse effects related to the amount ingested. Pregnant women can use these remedies without any known risk to themselves or their unborn child, but it is best to seek advice.
Frequency of Homeopathic Use
For acute conditions, it is recommended to take Cortex Surrénal homeopathic remedies every hour until symptoms improve. Once symptoms improve, reduce the frequency to 3 or 4 times a day, then gradually stop.
For chronic conditions, remedies in low dilutions (>9CH) are taken 1 to 2 times a day, while constitutional remedies are taken once a week or even once a month. This decision is up to the homeopath.
What to Do If There Is No Improvement Within 24 Hours
Certain conditions cannot be treated homeopathically through self-medication with Cortex Surrénal alone. Their severity requires medical advice, which can be provided by a homeopathic physician. This physician will determine whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone or whether your treatment needs to be supplemented with allopathic medicine.
