Florinef Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, Studies, Metabolism - Fludrocortisone Acetate - RxList Monographs The physiologic action of fludrocortisone acetate is similar to that of hydrocortisone. In larger doses, fludrocortisone acetate inhibits endogenous adrenal cortical secretion, thymic activity, and pituitary corticotropin excretion; promotes the deposition of liver glycogen; and, unless protein intake is adequate, induces negative nitrogen balance. The approximate plasma half-life of fludrocortisone (fluorohydrocortisone) is 3.5 hours or more and the biological half-life is 18 to 36 hours. www.rxlist.com /cgi/generic/fludro_cp.htm   (258 words)

Fludrocortisone might decrease the incidence of vasovagal syncope, but the quality of the evidence supporting its use is poor. www.clinicaltrials.gov /ct/show/NCT00118482;jsessionid=2C833EA49D727B44D7BB77929E172DE8?order=1   (621 words)
