FLORINEF

INDICATIONS

Florinef is used for treating adrenocortical insufficiency in Addison disease and for treating salt-losing adrenogenital syndrome. Florinef is a corticosteroid. It works by causing the kidneys to retain sodium and acting as a replacement for cortisone when the body does not produce enough.

INSTRUCTIONS 

Use Florinef as directed by your doctor.

• Take Florinef by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.
• Do not suddenly stop taking Florinef. You may have an increased risk of side effects. If you need to stop Florinef or add a new medicine, your doctor will gradually lower your dose.
• If you miss a dose of Florinef, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
