Kit Emergência
We are bringing a reality that was very far from us: the emergency kit.
In several countries this kit already exists because an Adrenal Insufficiency crisis can be fatal.
And what is the reality of patients with AI and CAH today in Brazil? Was feeling sick? Have to go to
Emergency Room to receive injectable hydrocortisone.
The reality in other countries is that exhausted treatment options at home
apply injectable hydrocortisone and go to the emergency room
gaining more chance of life!
In pandemic times, this action is necessary to save lives!
That reality today has changed. Order your emergency kit.
