A member asked:
Is there problems with being on florinif .01 mg for years for low blood pressure related to autonomic issues. ive been on it 7 years already. high salt and fluids alone is not enough. ?

Florinef: I see no problem taking it as long as you've been followed by a physician during those years. I assume conditions like adrenal gland insufficiency, underactive thyroid and cardiac pathology have been ruled out.
