replies: text: Both the image in the article and the image on this page represent the same chemical compound - and they both have steroid structure.  I don't see a mistake in either.  The one in the article, however, is preferred because it contains additional stereochemical information that is not present in this one. --Ed (Edgar181) 14:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Effects and Uses section is weak.  What are the uses?  It seems there are some paragraphs missing.  The 3rd paragraph begins: "One of cortisone's effects on..." -- it seems the writer assumes we already know what cortisone is used for, when he starts talking about side-effects.  But his previous 2 paragraphs have nothing to that effect.
All that he says (in the preceding para) is:  "...sometimes used as a drug to treat a variety of ailments..." -- duh?  Of course it is; but .. what ailments?  And how?  Details, details.
Very surprising that this is omitted; the largest part of any Wiki article about any drug should be what it is used for.  I understand that cortisone is used for arthritis; can this be confirmed?  There should be an entire section devoted to this, if so.
Lots of work needed to clean this article up, I'm afraid.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atikokan (talk • contribs) 01:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The phrase "Because of cortisone's effect on the immune system, dogs treated with even moderate doses show an increase in thirst and urination frequency", doesn't make any sense.
Cortisone does have an effect on the immune system, but this has no direct effect on the kidneys.
It has some direct on the kidneys, and possibly, direct effects on thirst centres - hence the effects on urination and thirst  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Excelis4 (talk • contribs) 08:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Could someone rewrite the first paragraph? 

message: Unknown at the time of the 1960 Presidential election, President John F. Kennedy took Cortisone supplements to counter the adrenal deficiency symptoms of Addison's Disease, which he denied having.http://www.pbs.org/newshour/character/essays/kennedy.html
This reference amounts to a bit of trivia added to the end of the history of the drug.  If there is some reason why it belongs (Kennedy were to have been taking it as a test subject, etc., part of early research in the 1950s and so on, and the editor can establish this, and so on, then there is a place for it.  Otherwise, it does not belong here in the main history section and in the absence of another section to which to relocate it, I am removing it.  I am leaving it here in case someone wants to add a paragraph where this would be appropriate (list of famous people who have taken cortisone, or something like that).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.174.192.68 (talk) 17:00, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I observe that the IUPAC name for Prednisone differs very substantially from Cortisone even though the only difference is a diene -> ene. IANAOC, and I know small changes in structure CAN lead to vastly different namings, but in this case, since the "front to back" nature of the molecule doesn't change, I am surprised by the profound difference. Can someone check this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.148.145 (talk) 10:49, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  IUPAC name wrong? 

message: One of the first sentences in this article is "Cortisone is a synthetic corticosteroid, which is not released by the adrenal gland."
This is contradicted by the wikipedia page on the adrenal gland.  In fact, the wikipedia page on the adrenal gland includes a graphic detailing which section of the adrenal gland cortisone is produced in.
I suspect but am not 100% sure that the wikipedia page on the adrenal gland is correct.  I believe this article may need to be changed.  Thoughts?

message: About:
    Cortisone was first identified by the American chemists Edward Calvin Kendall
    and Harold L. Mason while researching at the Mayo Clinic.[9][10][11] 
A year would be very helpful here. (The year 1949 at the beginning of the next paragraph tells us nothing about the year of discovery. Sometimes researchers continue their research of the same field of study for many years or even decades.) Toddcs (talk) 04:00, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
