Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Diprofos is a corticosteroids group drug, which may result in adverse effects.

The dosage of injection form varies from 0,6 mg to 9 mg/ 24 hours, and duration of treatment depends on the control of the symptoms.

Since it is working for you, you should use it in the actual dose for few days paying attention to any adverse effects.

If you didn't experienced any adverse effects till now it should be safe for you.

It is recommended to use the minimal possible dose first for a couple of days and to see its effects on the symptoms.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
