General description

Fludrocortisone acetate is secreted by adrenal cortex. It increases the reabsorption of sodium and secretion of potassium and hydrogen. Fludrocortisone is used to treat cerebral salt wasting syndrome and adrenal insufficiency. Fludrocortisone improves the sensitivity of blood vessels to catecholamines and increases the blood volume.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fludrocortisone acetate is a synthetic corticosteroid with more mineralocorticoid than glucocorticoid activity.
