Is It Safe To Take Celestone For Sinusitis?
I just had a Celestone injection today to treat sinusitis. Are there any long term effects with one injection? I know it makes you have hot flashes and such, but (for instance) will I gain weight from one shot? I was also prescribed azithromycin for 5 days

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are prescribed with celestone injection for treatment of sinusitis.
Celestone is a steroid drug.
One dose of celestone will not cause weight gain. Being a steroid it needs to be used carefully if you are having infective sinusitis.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
