Benefits of Floricot Tablet
In Addison's disease
Addison's disease, also called adrenal insufficiency, is an uncommon disorder that occurs when your body doesn't produce enough of some very essential hormones required for various body functions. If your body isn't producing enough of such hormones, Floricot Tablet helps to replace the shortage. This may help your body to perform necessary functions, such as retaining enough salt to function well. Take it as prescribed by the doctor to get the most benefit.
In Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia refers to the group of genetic disorders that adversely affects a child's normal growth and development. Floricot Tablet helps to treat this condition by replacing the hormone cortisol, which is decreased considerably in this condition. This helps the body to perform vital functions and improves the quality of life.
