Primary Prevention
There are no established measures for the primary prevention of secondary adrenal insufficiency. However, following measures can be effective:

- Avoid the long-term use of opioids.[1]
- Tapering of steroids as they interfere with the hypothalamic-pituitary axis which can cause secondary adrenal insufficiency.[2]
