This medication should be administered carefully to patients with infections as it may worsen the infection. Additionally, it should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to this drug or those with virulent infections such as herpes simplex, shingles, or chickenpox. It contains lactose, so it should not be given to patients with lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Patients with certain diseases such as glaucoma, tuberculosis, cataracts, hypertension, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, peptic ulcers, psychiatric disorders, and osteoporosis should use this medication cautiously. Special attention is also required for the elderly, epileptic patients, diabetic patients, and those with renal failure. This drug may suppress adrenal function, so sudden discontinuation after long-term use may be dangerous; it should be tapered gradually. Moreover, it can impair immune function, increasing the risk of infection, so symptoms of infection should be monitored closely. During treatment with this drug, vaccination with live vaccines should be avoided, and the patient must inform the healthcare provider of any other medications being taken due to numerous drug interactions. Women who are pregnant or nursing must consult a physician before use as it may affect the fetus or newborn. In children, there is a possibility of growth retardation, so it should be used with caution at the minimum effective dose while monitoring closely. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children, and if side effects occur, the healthcare provider should be consulted immediately.
