Fludrocortisone is a synthetic corticosteroid used primarily to treat conditions like adrenal insufficiency (such as Addison's disease) and orthostatic hypotension. It helps to replace or supplement the natural hormone aldosterone, which plays a critical role in regulating sodium and water balance in the body.

Side Effects:

• Weight gain due to fluid retention.
• Increased blood pressure.
• Headaches.
• Mood changes or irritability.
• Abdominal discomfort or nausea.
• Elevated blood sugar levels.
• Long-term use can lead to osteoporosis, adrenal suppression, or Cushing's syndrome.

Precautions:

• Use only as prescribed by a healthcare provider; do not adjust the dosage without consulting your doctor.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or infections.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, electrolytes, and blood sugar levels may be necessary during treatment.
• Gradual dose reduction is recommended when discontinuing treatment to prevent adrenal insufficiency.
• If pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, discuss potential risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
• Report any unusual symptoms, such as significant weight gain, swelling, or changes in mood, to your healthcare provider.
