A member asked:
How quickly does florinef (fludrocortisone) work? is it possible to feel better the next day after florinef (fludrocortisone), gatorade, and added salt, water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually the effects: of Florinef (fludrocortisone) take several weeks. The Gatorade, added salt and water could work much more quickly including less than 24 hours. This is probably why you feel better so quickly. The Florinef (fludrocortisone) will be long term management. Maintaining good hydration and increased salt intake will contribute to a more rapid improvement.
