Common uses
Florinef tablets are used to replace hormones normally produced by glands attached to your kidneys. These hormones are missing if you suffer from Addison's disease. Florinef tablets are also used to treat salt-losing adrenogenital syndrome, which is a different form of hormone imbalance and adrenocortical insufficiency.
Contraindications
You should not take this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to similar medicines or to any of the ingredients in Florinef or if you are suffering from an infection unless your doctor has also prescribed a treatment for the infection. You should not take this medicine for the treatment of any condition other than those stated.
Dosage
Adults including the elderly: The daily dose ranges from 0.05 mg to 0.3 mg taken once a day in the morning. Once your condition starts to respond your doctor will gradually reduce the dose to the lowest possible level which will relieve the symptoms. Patients on long-term treatment may require the addition of a different type of steroid tablet during times of illness or stress. Children: The dose is adjusted according to size and weight but is always kept as low as possible.
