Overview

Secondary prevention may be done by long term monitoring of patients by:
- Monitoring the patients for complications of hormonal replacement therapy (under-replacement/over replacement)^[1]
- Adjusting the dosages in stressful situations

There are no secondary preventive measures available for hypopituitarism.
