Hi,

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about side effects of steroid you are taking. These are the immediate side effects of steroid medication.

As your dosage is little high and persistent, as you must be taking it for any severe viral infection or other life-threatening diseases. You can't take antagonistic medication without the consent of your physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
