Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Doctor. My father has been taking omnacortil 10mg for a few month for fibrous infection in lungs. but since he is suffering from rheumato arthitis as well it has created a swelling in his lungs which is not allowing the exchange of carbondioxide and oxygen smoothly.. he has to take oxygen daily. so the doctor has prescribed omnacortil 20 for a month. I want to know if it has any side effects. Will be glad to get help from you. Thank you
Hello! Thank you for asking Healthcaremagic! Answer: Omnacortil contains the active ingredient Prednisone,which is a steroid class medication and it has various medical uses, such as treating inflammation and auto-immune conditions.
The side effects if given for a short duration includes gastric side effects like gastritis and reflux. You could take an antacid tablet like Ranitidine before meals twice a day to prevent this side effect.
Steroids can lead to osteoporosis , infections , diabetes , poor wound healing , cushings disease and other many side effects if taken for a long time.
