Brief Answer:
Omnacortil has important side effects.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Most of the medications are essential. She has multiple chronic diseases as you have mentioned, and it needs to be kept under control.
2. Among these, Omnacortil for long term is not advisable. Long term usage could cause osteoporosis, fractures, peptic ulcers, cataract, increased risk of infections and also make difficult control of diabetes and hypertension. However, it should not be stopped immediately and should be tapered slowly.
3. Other than Omnacortil, others are necessary. However, if it is being tapered, do watch blood sugar and blood pressure closely, as variations are known to occur.
4. If her COPD is severe and Omnacortil is compulsory, you need to discuss with your doctor about any alternate medications after tapering it.
Hope it helps.
