A member asked:
Can you take florinef (fludrocortisone) 2 days on, 1 day off? 50 mg every other day isn't enough and 50 mg daily is too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Florinef (fludrocortisone): If you can, break your Florinef (fludrocortisone) in two and take that half dose every day. Please let me know if this is helpful.
