HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Gupisone is a steroid and these can be used for severe allergic reactions that do not respond to oral anti histamines.

You should complete the course given, if you have recurrent allergic reaction then you should try an oral antihistamine first.
If there is no or little response then you can the steroids.

You may want to speak to your doctor about allergy testing. This can be in the form of blood tests or skin prick testing and would be able to identify what you are allergic to.

I hope this helps
