Fludrocortisone

Fludrocortisone is a medication that helps regulate your body’s balance of salt and water by mimicking a natural hormone called aldosterone. It is often prescribed to treat conditions like Addison’s disease, where the adrenal glands don’t produce enough hormones, leading to issues like low blood pressure and dehydration. By promoting salt retention and water absorption in the kidneys, Fludrocortisone helps maintain blood pressure and electrolyte balance. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions and monitor your health while using this medication, as it can affect electrolyte levels and blood pressure.
