Hello,
The decision to take steroids is made on a benefit vs risk basis. Even though the side effects are concerning, the benefits of taking steroids must be outweighing the risk. The dosage can be adjusted as per his/her treating physician's assessment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
