About chronotherapy
Coordinating biological rhythms (chronobiology) with medical treatment is called chronotherapy. It takes into account the body's biological rhythms in determining the timing--and sometimes the amount--of medication to optimize a drug's desired effects and minimize its undesired ones.
Chronotherapy for the most part is not about new drug substances but about using medicines in new ways, better attuned to the bodys needs. Designing a drug so its release into the bloodstream has a particular release pattern or using pumps that deliver medicine at specified intervals are some of the innovations that may reap important benefits.

About DuoCort
DuoCort is a drug development company focused on improving glucocorticoid therapy in several areas of medical need. The company has its origins among researchers at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg and at Uppsala University in Sweden. DuoCort is developing an improved glucocorticoid replacement therapy for patients with adrenal insufficiency, a rare disease for which DuoCort has orphan drug designations in Europe and the USA. The new product, a once daily dual-release hydrocortisone oral tablet that comes in both 5 mg and 20 mg sizes, is being developed by DuoCort Pharma AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
