Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Doses vary widely with the condition treated. Take in the morning with or after food to reduce stomach upset and sleep disturbance. For courses longer than about 2 weeks, never stop suddenly. The dose must be tapered under medical supervision to let your body's own steroid production recover. Carry a steroid card if on long-term treatment.
Long-term use can raise blood sugar and blood pressure, thin bones and skin, increase infection risk, cause weight gain and mood changes, and suppress adrenal function. Attend regular monitoring. Avoid contact with chickenpox or measles if not immune and report exposure. Caution with diabetes, ulcers, glaucoma, and psychiatric history. Tell every clinician you take steroids, especially when unwell or before surgery. Doses may need increasing during illness. Take with NSAIDs only under medical advice. Store below 30°C.
