Side effect of Steroid
Respected Doctor,
I was undertaking medication for acne problem on my back in the year 2013. One of the tablet had certain dose of steroid in it which I wasn't aware of. I started to gain weight all around my body abruptly. My muscles have grown in each and every part. I am also facing problems such as excess body hair growth, allergie & non suitability of other medicines. I have tried very hard to loose weight ever since. My question is if its possible to permanently remove the side effect of steroid and reduce my body muscles? Offer any possible solution & prescribe medicines if possible. thank you.

Talk to experienced dietitian online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
I would firstly recommend you to get your hormone level checked. Loosing weight may not be much problematic, once we get to know the suppression time of those steroids. I would like to do some reference and check research articles with this context. Just msg me personally if you got your hormone levels checked. Also any other queries or questions, always can msg me.
