Several disease states can be affected by treatment with Florinef and sometimes the dosage must be changed depending on the disease, so it is important to inform the treating physician about all diseases, both before and during treatment. This is especially true for infections, gastrointestinal disease, kidney and liver disease, blood clots, high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetes, osteoporosis, Cushing’s syndrome, mental illness, convulsions, various skin rashes, tumor diseases, and myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness).

Contact a doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
