Detailed explanation-1: -Studies suggest a 100mg IV bolus of hydrocortisone is the first line for glucocorticoid replacement. If that is not available, another glucocorticoid such as dexamethasone can be substituted, but dexamethasone does not have a secondary mineralocorticoid action as hydrocortisone does.
Detailed explanation-2: -Treatment. In adrenal crisis, an intravenous or intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone (an injectable corticosteroid) must be given immediately. Supportive treatment of low blood pressure with intravenous fluids is usually necessary. Hospitalization is required for adequate treatment and monitoring.
Detailed explanation-3: -The immediate hormonal treatment is the administration of hydrocortisone. The initial dose for adrenal crisis is 100 mg IV bolus, followed by 50 to 100 mg IV every 6 hours over 24 hours.
