Suggest Remedy For Puffiness On Face After Using Decdan And Practin
Brief Answer:
this is a side effect of the drug
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
decdan is the most potent corticosteroid. Chronic use of corticosteroids in high doses results in Cushing's syndrome. One of the most evident features of Cushing's syndrome is puffiness on the face. Unfortunately there is no drug to prevent it. The only potential solution is withdrawing the corticosteroid, but this is a decision for your doctor. Your doctor knows the reason you're taking decdan and your medical history and should decide whether decdan is absolutely needed or not.
I hope you find my comments helpful!

Kind Regards!
