The doctor suggested me Advent (BD), Thioasthaline (TID), Ambrolite syrup (TID) and prescribed complete haemogram, FBS and chest X-ray (PA) for further diagnosis.

I had muscle pain and I was getting this pain frequently. Is this prescription right? Are there any side effects? ## I actually found an article on the side effects of Defcort (Deflazacort), which may be helpful to answering your question about pain: livestrong.com/article/268202-side-effects-of-deflazacort From what I could gather, patients who use this medication excessively or for a prolonged period of time may develop a condition called Cushing's syndrome. Symptoms associated with this condition include severe fatigue, increased blood sugar, bruising, back or body aches, weakness, elevated blood pressure or upper body weight gain, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

I was having interstial lung disease and was prescribed defcort30 mg for 3 months , and it was reduced to defcort 6mg for the last 1year. May i know the side effects of both defcort30mg and defcort6mg by having them in the above period of time mentioned above.

Mu period was regular since last month..date to date..i am a 42 years old female.due to some skin allergy my doctor gave me defcort 24 mg dor 3 days single tablet daily,i am not getting my period this month now,its above 12 days now... ## Hello, Dimple! How are you? Yes, as ladies, we pretty much have to accept that any medication we take may throw off our periods, it's just something that happens and you'll find it listed under the full side effects that the U.S. FDA issues for almost all medications. Additionally, your age could be a factor, we ladies can also start experiencing the symptoms of perimenopause anytime after age 35, and it can cause our periods to become irregular. Is there any risk of pregnancy?

Now I completed 30 days of treatment. Can you tell me if there will be any side effects and if so, what precautions I should take? ## From what I can find, it appears Defcort contains the glucocortoid Deflazacort, it is used to as an anti-inflammatory and immuno-suppressant. Common side effects to these types of steroids can include: nausea, drowsiness, immunosuppression and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Can u please tell me how old u are? My hubby is 27 and he tells me dat he's suffering from hypersensitive pneumonitis or sarcoidosis wich is not diagnosed prope...

I have kidney problem with about 3.2 gm protein discharge daily. Doctor had suggested taking Prednisolone 120 mg A/D.With the first doze itself, I had serious chest pain. Later on another nephrologist suggested me taking Defcort 30 mg x 21/2 tablets daily. I am afraid due to the first exprience with Prednisolone. I am a heart patient having undergone angioplasty already. Please advise.I am also taking medicine for BP.and diabetese. ## Did the doctors say the chest pain was caused by the Prednisolone? If so, then that would be a good sign that it is not safe for you to use. If you are already a heart patient, it could also complicate things further, because it can cause fluid retention, which can result in congestive heart failure for people that are susceptible to it. Do they doctors th...
