Magic pills
From Sacramento,californiaComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)This pills works very good for my little boder collie. -
A best buy!
From FloridaComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)This medication would be nearly unaffordable for this rescue dog, and his life depends on it. Compounding dose saves me 2/3 cost over local pharmacies, and coupled with strict diet and otc meds, he now is thriving. Highly recommend! -
Effective, economical, and expeditious

Best Price Around
From UtahComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)After the nightmare of almost losing our dog to undiagnosed Addison's disease, we found out she would need monthly shots and pills for around $150 dollars a month. We were told this was essential to her survival. After a lot of research I found this website and I found that they compounded a pill that treats Addison's effectively. I pay 1/3 the price for the medicine my dog needs to stay alive. I am so grateful to VetRXdriect for that! Her blood tests have come in great so we know it's working as effectively as the shot/pill combo. Yay! -

This medication made saving our dog's life affordable.
From Grand Rapids, MiComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)The injections our vet wanted to use to treat our dog were going to cost $120 a month, which we simply couldn't afford. But this compounded medication works perfectly to treat his Addison's Disease and does so in an affordable way. I know it's a rare disease, but hopefully anyone whose pet has this can find this site for their medication. I'm really glad we did! -

Q & A
-
We currently use Fludrocortisone Acetate (0.4 mg) compounded by a local pharmacy that is far too expensive. Is this the same as the "Acetate"??
-
Both the commercially produced tablets and the compounded capsules sold by VetRxDirect use the acetate salt form of Fludrocortisone.

I typically order Fludrocortisone 0.6 but my dogs dose has increased to 0.7. I do not see the option for 0.7 compounded on the website.?
-
One option for obtaining the 0.7mg dosage may be via combining two available strengths on our website. Please call us at 1-866-761-6578 for additional available strength information. Please contact your dog's veterinarian to check if this medication is appropriate for your dog and to obtain a prescription.

My dog has Addisons disease and takes an injection of Percorten v each month. Is this product the same as Percorten? Can it be used in lieu of Percorten? Do I have to have a prescription from the vet to have the compounded product??
-
A prescription is needed to compound this product. Fludrocortisone is not the same medication as Percorten-V. The active ingredient in Percorten-V is desoxycorticosterone pivalate. Fludrocortisone can be used as an alternative to Percorten-V for the treatment of Addison's Disease. Percorten-V is an injectable medication given approximately every 21-30 days while Fludrocortisone capsules must be given orally daily. It is more common to see an increase in the dose as time goes on with Fludrocortisone than with Percorten-V. It is best to discuss with your veterinarian what the best option is for your pet.

If my dog has to take 6 - 0.1 MG. Tablets of Fludrocortisone would I order the 0.6 MG tablets. Thank You?
-
Yes, if your pet takes them all at once, you could get the 0.6mg strength. We do suggest consulting with your veterinarian first to be sure that is okay for you to get. Thank you, VetRxDirect

will these compouned capsuls work the exact same way as the fludrocortison that I now give my dog from a reg. pharmacy??
-
Lexi, Fludrocortisone acetate is a prescription mineralocorticoid used in the treatment of Addison’s disease (adrenocortical insufficiency) in a variety of small animals. The 0.1mg fludrocortisone acetate tablets available from VetRxDirect are a commercially available generic version of Florinef 0.1mg tablets. The 0.1mg fludrocortisone acetate tablets will be the same strength as what you can get from your regular pharmacy. VetRxDirect can also compound custom strengths of fludrocortisone capsules to meet the requirements of your animal. Contact your veterinarian to determine the best course of therapy for your animal. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Can you break in half so you can give half in the morning and half at night? The half life worries me that she will crash overnight.?
-
Tanya, We do not recommend splitting capsules, as it can be difficult to ensure even dosing. Fludrocortisone is available in a 0.3mg capsule, so that you would be able to give the prescribed dose in the morning and evening without needing to split a larger strength. Thank you, VetRxDirect
