Brief Answer:
Steroids-dexona and menabol cause impotence.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for giving me an opportunity to address your query.

I would be glad to know to medical indication/reason for using all the drugs for such a long duration.

Since Dexona and menabol are steroids they have altered your immunity giving rise to activation of TB.

Steroids increased acidity- cause acid peptic disease which range from gastritis to peptic ulcer- most manifest as stomach pain.I were to do an upper GI endoscopy to identify the exact cause which is crucial for further management.I were do this as early as possible.

I were to advise Tab.Rabeprazole 20mg once daily half an hour before breakfast.Rabeprazole is antiulcer drug which shall reduce acid secretion and there by relieves stomach pain.Avoid spicy, oily foods and drink plenty of fluids.

Steroids both dexona and menabol cause impotence.
Cyproheptadine does not affect your sexual function.

Hope this answers your query.

Brief Answer:
Tb can be cured.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for writing me back.

TB can be definitely cured.Suggest to comply with treatment as advised by your physician.It is very important to complete the course since it is spread over 6-8 months.This is a must to kill the bacteria.

If you are having impotence I were to evaluate.Impotence can be be managed (not cured) by both medical therapy and assist devices(pumps) depending on the extent of your problem.This has to be medically supervised.

You may always lead a healthy life and this is not a constraint.However I would like to know if you are continuing both menabol and dexona & the reason for continuing the same.

Hope this answers your query.
