Is there any natural or alternate medicine to florinef fludrocortisone that doesnt cause weight gain I am taking it for hypoaldosteronism and vasovagal syncope?
No, I am unaware of any alternative medicine that would take the place of the current one you are taking. Fludrocortisone (Florinef) is a type of steroidal product, but unlike glucocorticoids (prednisone), fludrocortisone is a mineralcorticoid. This product has been used for decades, and I have not seen any research being done to replace it. As far as the weight gain, probably much from water retention, it may be good to avoid excess sodium in the diet which could worsen this. Try to keep sodium to less than 1000 to 1500 mg daily to 1.5 grams daily. It will be necessary to carefully read all food nutrition labels until you become familiar with high-sodium foods. Hint: this includes many soups, cheese, ketchup, and prepared frozen dinners.
