Flurocort 0.1mg Tablet 20s

Flurocort 0.1mg Tablet 20s, made by Tabros Pharma, is a mineralocorticoid (corticosteroid) hormone. Its active ingredient is Fludrocortisone 0.1mg, and it is used for adrenal insufficiency, Addison's disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and low blood pressure. Pack size: 20 tablets.

Uses of Flurocort 0.1mg Tablet 20s

Flurocort 0.1mg Tablet 20s is used to replace aldosterone, a hormone normally made by the adrenal glands, in people with Addison’s disease or the salt-losing form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is usually taken together with hydrocortisone. Specialists also use it to treat some types of persistently low blood pressure, such as postural hypotension that causes dizziness on standing.

How Flurocort 0.1mg Tablet 20s works

Fludrocortisone acts on the kidneys in the same way as aldosterone, causing them to hold on to sodium and water and to pass out potassium. This keeps body fluid and blood volume at healthy levels and helps maintain blood pressure.

Possible side effects

Most side effects of Flurocort 0.1mg Tablet 20s come from the body holding on to too much salt and water, for example:

• Swollen ankles or fluid retention
• Raised blood pressure
• Weight gain
• Headache
• Muscle weakness from low potassium

See a doctor urgently if you have severe swelling, breathlessness, a very high blood pressure reading, chest pain, or marked muscle weakness or cramps.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop taking it suddenly, and carry a steroid card or emergency card as advised by your doctor.
• If you have Addison’s disease, follow your sick-day rules and seek urgent help for vomiting or severe illness.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney problems or diabetes.
• Regular checks of blood pressure and blood salts are needed; mention diuretics, other steroids and anti-inflammatory painkillers.
• Continue taking it in pregnancy unless told otherwise, but let your doctor know so that your treatment can be monitored.
