I am using omnacortil since I was 8 years old due to nephritic syndrome. not regularly but when I need it. In that time my mind was really good. I was like a genius.

But after so many years and now I am 20 my mind and brain is really dull and I am really suffering from memory losses and I am not so good at studies and anything. ## Corticosteroids, such as this one which contains the active ingredient Prednisolone, are known to cause amnesia, and memory loss with long-term use, according to NIH reports, other side effects may including dizziness, headache, acne, mood changes, and weight changes. Are you on any other medications?

I have been experiencing a rather persistent cough and mucus, for which I am currently taking Montair LC and Foracort 200 regularly. In addition, my doctor prescribed Azicip, but it didn't yield any positive results. Recently, he suggested I take Omnacortil 10mg. However, I'm hesitant to do so because I also suffer from endometriosis which could potentially recur. I'd like to know if this steroid might lead to the development of cysts? ## Actually, steroids are usually used to help get rid of cysts, according to the NIH. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, fluid retention, nervousness, and insomnia.
