hello,
tricort is given to reduce inflammation and itching.
it is relatively a safe drug.
i does not have damaging effect on your heart valves. adverse effects are rare and in some circumstances unavoidable. hence any drug given i titrated and given to the best need of the patient in the best interest of the patient.
i hope i have answered your doubt.
take care and have a speedy recovery
