What does it do?

Undifferentiated fludrocortisone acetate is an ingredient belonging to the synthetic adrenal cortex hormone class. It is primarily used in medications to correct electrolyte imbalance caused by adrenal insufficiency. It helps maintain blood pressure and fluid balance by promoting the reabsorption of water and sodium in the body.

This ingredient increases sodium reabsorption in the kidneys and promotes the excretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. In doing so, it helps regulate electrolyte balance and stabilize blood pressure. It plays a role in alleviating symptoms caused by a deficiency of adrenal cortex hormones.
