Accepted Answer

Although there is: potential for electrolyte abnormalities, hypertension and calcium metabolism issues, in general Florinef (fludrocortisone) is safe and effective long term for many POTS patients.

Question 4

is florinef (fludrocortisone) better to take than prednisone?  i'm concerned about long term side effects but need to take florinef (fludrocortisone) 0.05 mg for pots syndrome 3x/week.

Accepted Answer

Prednisone is not: really a good alternative for florinef (fludrocortisone) in terms of POTS.  At least not in the long term.  Prednisone has little mineralocorticoid effect compared to florinef (fludrocortisone), and you mainly need that effect, and a little adrenocorticoid effect that prednisolone offers.  Eventually you will need to replace both substances as your both aspects of your adrenal function shuts down with long term steroid use.

Accepted Answer

Lower dose?: You may need to lower the dose, but you should only do this with your doctor's supervision! never stop Florinef (fludrocortisone) abruptly, it could lead to fatal adrenal crisis if you were previously on it for awhile. Florinef (fludrocortisone) supresses your body's natural production of cortisol, so stopping suddenly can cause low cortisol crisis.
