Suggest Medication For Arthritis, High Sugar And Cholesterol Levels With Thyroid
Hi My mother was taking Omnacortil 10mg per day for last 3 year for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Recently doctor advised to stop taking omnacortil as it is not good for long term use. After doing few tests we get to know her sugar , thyroid & cholesterol level is high also gain weight a lot. Please advise some thing helpful.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it is not at all good to continue steroid for such long time because it may cause many sides effects, and it is not the curative if taken steroid, it is better to investigate for the side effects if ever happens, it is the matter of concern, hope this information helps.
