Hoosierfan Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Read a bunch of posts since I got here regarding florinef and the fact that it is aldosterone. And, as a lot of you know I'm tapering off my Florinef because of the side effects (been on it 16 months). I recall reading somewhere that your aldosterone levels can be tested -- how do they do that? I've never had it done but wondering if I should ask my doc to do it so that we can see where my adrenals are at and monitor them as we decrease the Florinef. Also recall that even if you run the particular test while you are on florinef, it can show you if you adrenals are being suppressed by the Florinef. Thanks for the answers -- know this is probably really basic for some of you!! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
