A member asked:
If fludrocortisone has insignificant glucocorticoid activity why is it contradicted in diverticulitis, surely it wouldnt have any effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fludrocortisone: Still has an antiinflammatory glucocorticoid effect, not insignficant, but not as potent as the glucocorticoids. Any of those drugs with that class action, are better used with caution in any gastrointestinal tract disorder for fear of perforation, not only diverticulitis, wish you well
