📋Overview
Fludrocortisone is a synthetic corticosteroid that mimics the action of hormones produced by the adrenal glands. It is primarily associated with conditions involving adrenal insufficiency, such as Addison's disease, where the body does not produce enough natural corticosteroids. The drug helps regulate the balance of salt and water in the body, which is important for maintaining blood pressure and other vital functions. Fludrocortisone is also sometimes linked to certain forms of low blood pressure due to hormonal imbalances.
