Can you tell me about hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone effects?

Hydro/fludro: An interesting question hard to answer in a brief note. Please go online and simply type in "hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone" and you will find a few worthwhile articles. Not easy to understand - take your time reading.
