Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with a known allergy to its ingredients. It is advisable not to use this medication in patients with infections or cases of tuberculosis, fungal, or viral infections. Pregnant or breastfeeding women generally should not be given this medication and should only use it under strict supervision by a physician if necessary. This medication contains lactose, so patients with lactose intolerance or related genetic disorders should not use it. Patients with impaired liver or kidney function, diabetes, gastric or duodenal ulcer, severe hypertension, osteoporosis, adrenal insufficiency, glaucoma, or cataracts should be cautious when using this medication. During treatment, side effects such as anxiety, headache, drowsiness, nausea, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, heavy menstruation, and fever may rarely occur. Prolonged use at high doses may lead to serious side effects, including increased risk of infection, adrenal suppression, weight gain, osteoporosis, and visual disturbances, thus caution is needed. If there are any signs of mental instability, depression, or suicidal thoughts, consultation with a physician is essential, as psychiatric adverse reactions may occur. This medication may produce positive results in doping tests, so athletes should exercise caution. Additional steroid treatment may be required during surgery or in severe stress situations. If blurred vision or any visual abnormalities occur during treatment, immediate consultation with an ophthalmologist is required. Experience with this medication in children is limited, so it is not recommended for use in this population. Although special dosage adjustments are not required for the elderly, caution is advised due to limited experience with this group. In cases of overdose, adrenal function may be temporarily suppressed, but emergency treatment is usually not necessary, and directions from a physician should be followed for prolonged overdoses. Keep this medication out of the reach of children.
