Florinef Description
What Florinef is
Florinef contains fludrocortisone, a synthetic mineralocorticoid. It helps the body manage salt and water balance. It is used when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. In Australia it is prescribed by doctors and dispensed by chemists after a valid script.
Fludrocortisone works by increasing sodium reabsorption in the kidneys and helping to control potassium levels. This action helps raise blood pressure in people with orthostatic hypotension and supports those with confirmed adrenal insufficiency. It is usually taken alongside a glucocorticoid in many treatment plans.
Who benefits from Florinef?
Adults with Addison’s disease or secondary adrenal insufficiency may need Florinef as part of their replacement therapy. It is also used when a patient experiences fainting due to low blood pressure on standing. Your doctor will decide if it is appropriate for you.
In Australia, the dose is tailored to each person. The aim is to restore salt balance without causing high blood pressure or fluid retention. Regular blood tests and clinical checks are common during starting and adjusting therapy.
How Florinef is used in Australia
A typical starting dose is around 0.1 mg each day, but your doctor may adjust it. The dose is often divided or timed to suit your daily routine. Do not change the dose without medical advice.
Take Florinef with meals if your stomach is sensitive. If you miss a dose, contact your pharmacist or doctor for guidance. The medicine should be stored according to label directions and kept away from children.
Online purchase and prescription essentials in Australia
Florinef is prescription-only. When ordering from an online pharmacy in Australia, you must upload a valid prescription and verify your identity. A registered Australian pharmacist should review the order before it is dispatched.
Online pharmacies in Australia may offer discreet packaging and home delivery. Prices vary, and some patients may pay less through the PBS or private health cover. Always choose a licensed, reputable pharmacy to protect safety and privacy.
Safety, side effects and interactions
Common side effects include fluid retention, swollen ankles, weight gain, headaches and stomach upset. Electrolyte changes can occur, especially low potassium. Long-term use may raise blood pressure or cause mood changes. Tell your doctor about other medicines you take.
Fludrocortisone can interact with certain medicines such as NSAIDs, diuretics, anticoagulants and some antifungal or antibiotic drugs. Alert your clinician if you become ill with vomiting or diarrhea, as fluid and electrolyte balance may change rapidly.
Practical tips for Australian buyers
Keep a current list of medicines and allergies. Check the online pharmacy's accreditation, delivery times and refund policy. If you notice swelling, high blood pressure, or unusual weight gain, contact your clinician promptly.
In Australia, many medications are subsidised under the PBS; some patients may pay a reduced price. When ordering, confirm that the pharmacy is licensed, uses secure payment methods and provides clear instructions for storage and use.
