Hello dear user, thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic and sharing your query, the Zempred-8 is a Corticosteroid that can lead several side effects specially when used at high dosage or if taken long term, the most common undesirable effects including: weight gain, glaucoma, osteoporosis, difficulty sleeping, high blood pressure, increased growth of body hair, acne...... remember not all side effects may be reported. An important thing using steroids is that you should not discontinue the treatment abruptly this can bring all symptoms back, to prevent this steroids is usually prescribed with a tapering dosage. As you had a good response to the Zempred -8 I advice you continues working with your doctor in the Lowest dosage to keep the symptoms away. Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful Wishing you a good health Dr Tania Portelles-Driggs
