The magic medicine .. Tips to avoid its side effects

The Federation of German Pharmacists' Associations provided advice to reduce the side effects of cortisone medications by using them correctly.

He explained that cortisone drugs - which are described as a magic medicine - should be taken between six and eight in the morning, which is the period during which the body produces cortisone by itself, and thus the abuse of drugs does not cause any problem to the body.

As for asthma patients, who use cortisone inhalers, they must rinse the mouth well after use, to avoid irritation of the mucous membrane lining the mouth.

And those who take cortisone over a long period of time, they should increase their intake of vitamins and calcium to avoid osteoporosis.

Stomach irritation can also be avoided by taking antacids.

Weight gain is a side effect of using cortisone, and skin can also become thinner or have red veins and small nodes.

In addition, the points of the nose and eyes may cause changes in the mucous membranes that line them.

In the case of topical use, these side effects only occur in the application.

And when one of these side effects appears, you should consult the attending physician immediately, while you should not stop taking the medicine without referring to the doctor.
