Hi,
Welcome to HealthCareMagic,
Wysolone is a corticosteroid hormone.
Due to long use of wysolone, you have developed Cushing's syndrome.
Its prolong use can cause growth retardation in children.
You require careful tapering off of Wysolone medicine.
Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.
With good wishes,
Dr.Chandra Shekhar Sharma
