I'd like to add something here:

Florinef is a different type of steroid.. It targets water/sodium metabolism, primarily and weakly inflammation (in high doses or over longer periods of time). (unlike prednisone).

So it would not have a severe side effect profile like prednisone does.

Here is a monograph on it:
http://www.rxlist.com/florinef-drug.htm

People who have had adrenal glands removed due to tumors often take both, Florinef and Cortef.
