Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet

Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet is an oral tablet that contains 0.1 mg of fludrocortisone in each tablet. Fludrocortisone is a corticosteroid-like medicine with mineralocorticoid activity, and Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet is used to help replace or support hormones the body is not making enough of. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as adrenocortical insufficiency (including Addison’s disease) and certain forms of low blood pressure related to salt and fluid loss. Because it can affect salt balance, blood pressure, and fluid retention, Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet should be used only under a clinician’s supervision.

How it works: Fludrocortisone in Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet acts like a natural hormone that tells the kidneys to keep more sodium and water while getting rid of less potassium. By helping the body hold on to salt and fluid, this tablet can raise blood volume and support blood pressure in people who need hormone replacement.

Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet is a standard low-dose tablet strength, which makes it suitable for carefully adjusted treatment plans where the prescriber needs precise control of salt and fluid effects. Since there are no other Floricot strengths or forms listed here, this 0.1 mg tablet represents the exact dose unit typically used when a doctor wants a small, measured amount that can be taken once daily or divided into a tailored schedule if needed.

• Adrenocortical insufficiency
• Addison’s disease
• Salt-wasting conditions
• Orthostatic or low blood pressure linked to adrenal hormone problems
• Hormone replacement therapy under medical supervision

• Swallow Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet with water, whole and not chewed unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep hormone levels steady.
• If it upsets your stomach, taking it with food or milk may help.
• Follow your prescribed schedule exactly; do not change the dose on your own.
• Do not stop Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet suddenly unless your doctor tells you to do so.

Each Floricot 0.1 mg Tablet provides 0.1 mg of fludrocortisone per tablet. The dose may be taken once daily or adjusted by a doctor based on blood pressure, symptoms, electrolytes, and how well you respond; the maximum daily dose is set by the prescriber and should not be exceeded on your own. Because this strength can strongly affect salt and fluid balance, only a doctor should decide the exact schedule.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
