Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
It is safe to take tricort once a month, but dose and how long, you have to take it should be decided by your treating physician,as it depends on many clinical factors.
I to my clinic patients advice once a month for 4 to 6 months some times may be more.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.
