Want to stop certain medication
I'm 26 years old male. I've been having dexona and Practin since 3 years now, Back then i never realized the side effects of it, however off-late i'm experiencing some side effects (short breathlessness, tiredness) which im sure is due to the medication im used to. I had stopped it last year for a month or so, while i stopped taking them i experienced rashes on my skin (face and hands) also my weight was dropped drastically. I really need to get over this habit of my medication. Pls help me with which doctor i should be consulting for the same. Request your reply ASAP. Thank you

Hi, you have to taper off the dose then stop I.e. three doses daily to two doses for ten days,then one dose daily for ten days,then halfdose for ten days, then stop .
Atarex one tab daily morning will do good for rashes ( if and when required for three to five days).
