What you know about Compounded Fludrocortisone Capsules:
Fludrocortisone capsules are compounded by VetRxDirect’s expert compounding staff. They are available in many dosage forms to tailor to your pet’s needs. The capsules need to be stored away from humidity, light, and heat. It is important to order your refills a few days ahead of time because the product needs to be made for your pet. Fludrocortisone capsules have an expiration date of 6 months after they are made, so pay close attention to expiration dates on your label. Quantities and charges ordered exceeding the beyond use date will be adjusted to hopefully prevent your pet’s medication from expiring before they are finished.
Beyond Use Date: Capsules: It is recommended that this product be used within 6 months.

Best Price Around
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!

Disease Regression
Rx was filled promptly, but not confident that it's compounded correctly, as my dog's disease has regressed significantly. We're going back to the shots.

fludrocortisone, compounded
From vermontComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)My dog has a chronic disease and your company makes it easy to reorder when needed. Thanks! -
Saved my Bella's life!
From Charlotte, NC, USAComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)I have been buying this for the past six months. This website is user friendly and we receive the medicine in a very timely manner. Our sweet Bella was diagnosed with Addison's disease almost two years ago. Until we found the compounded capsules Bella was constantly in a state of Addisonion crisis. With the proper dosage this medicine has saved her life. We have more time with our precious girl battling this horrible disease because of this medicine. -
Great Product
From Methuen, MA, USAComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)I have a 10 year old Basset who is an Addison's dog. This is the best price for Fludrocortisone I've found. They ship the product as quick as they can - but remember - it needs to be manually compounded, so be sure to add that extra time into how quickly you need to order it. -
Good value, good product
From WIComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)I have an Addison's dog, this is the best price for Fludrocortisone I've found. Product ships quickly and they are flexible with the compounded dosage (Call if you need a dosage not listed). -
Works great
From Seattle, WA, USAComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)My 80 lb dog (pit bull) was dx with addisons years ago. Once on .6 mg of Fludrocortisone a day his transformation was very pleasing. He has his appetite and energy back. He has only gone into an Addison's crisis 1 time in 3-4 years. And I think that was the product of my wife and I thinking the other gave Primo his meds, and missed a few days. This is the cheapest site I have found for this drug and the service is great. -
This is great and convenient easy to get
From Culver City, CA, USAComments about Fludrocortisone (Compounded)Not to many pharmacies curry this medicine, and a lot of them don't stock them, this company make our life easier to keep my dog healthy. Thank you.

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
