Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Omnacortil will give minimal effect if given in small doses for few days as 3 or 5 days. Many doctors prescribe for various infections under the cover of antibiotics.
Low dose steriods upto 2 weeks are safe. Earliest symptoms are weight gain and high BP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
