Hi I am advised zempred 4 for 30 days one tablet per day. I have adult acne but not that severe. What are the possible side effects of consuming 30 tablets. Also should I start with the dosage. ## Hello, Niki! How are you? Who told you to take this medication? This is a steroid class medication and, according to the U.S. FDA, it can actually cause or worsen acne as a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and insomnia. Thus, it isn't likely to solve your problem. ## Thanks for your inputs. Extremely strange one of the renowned dermatologist of delhi actually prescribed me this. I am glad I did not start consuming it. Thanks

Thus, you should only use it if your doctor has instructed you to do so. Are there any other questions or comments?

Abrupt cessation of the drug after this occurs can result in a condition known as Addisonian crisis, which can be fatal. To prevent this, the drug is usually prescribed with a tapering dosage, including a pre-dosed "dose pack" detailing a specific number of pills to take at designated times over a s...

My father has taken Zempred 8mg 1BD for a week. Then the same tab 1OD for a week. Then 1/2 a tab for a week. The same course was repeated after two months. Today my father has been experiencing symptoms of a 'frozen shoulder'. My father's arm cannot move in any direction. Plz advise me how we can alleviate this reaction? ## Hello, Abhishek! How is your father doing? You can't really 'remove' a side effect, so to speak. According to the U.S. FDA, this medication has been known to cause some problems with joints and tendons. If that is what he's experienced, it will require medical treatment, so he should return to his doctor for evaluation. Other typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and acne. Is there anything else ...

I am getting rashes on my forehead due to hair colour treatment, though I use ammonia free colours. Way back in 2009 I developed severe allergies through hair colour treatments and was advised to take zemfred 4 for 3 days along with some antibiotics. I was surprised to see the results. Post the treatment I started with ammonia free hair colour as advised and was happy till date but now even the safest colours do not suit. Whenever I go for hair colour and get a rash. I usually take 1 zemfred 4 during the day and half next day, which gives me lot of comfort. Please tell me what are the side effects I am going to face if it is used once in a month only after coloring my hair? Is it advisable to use it like this? ## Hello, Jaya! How are you?
