Steroids! What are they & How much harmful?
By yousafnoor •
I have been having Allergy once a week but now it is getting me almost every day.
Checked myself an found allergic to dust, flowers and so many other stuff, hard to avoid in daily life.
Recently, my doctor prescribed me the “Nasonex” and it is working great on me. It seems my allergy is gone but when I checked on the internet, it is having horrible side effects!
Can someone having medical history explain me that how these “Steroid” functions, what are they and up to what extent could they damage human body and why doctors do not tell about their side effect they way internet websites are telling about them?
@ladyinblack: nasal sprays r different kinds n prescribed for different reasons for dirrernt duraions...
If u guys dont know anythin bout medicines, please dont comment anythin wrong... Its a matter of someone's health...
@mokhan: did it happen to u after takin steroids??
It seems Nasonex steroids are not all that bad!
Good to know that Docs are also contributing to Qatar living
Nasonex was prescribed to me as well by an E.N.T specialist but doctors always mention not to continue nasal sprays for more than 2 weeks...Check with ur doc again..
Do not take the steroids dude! It stops the balls rolling!!
just in case just consult another
doctor knows better than you. if u have any doubt, better consult another doctor.
First of all... There is difference between "other steroids" and the steroid prescribed for u... The other steroid, what we usually hear about is to increase body mass and function are not the same ones you r taking. Dont mix them up.
Nasonex is a local steroid which helps in reducing the inflammation (which is caused by the allergy). There is no "harm" as such in taking these steroids over a long period of time. Yes, there are side effects to all the medicines n so does your nasonex has. Ignore the internet findings and just go with ur dr.
most of the medicines have side effects
