The only remedy is to get back to the xasten (dexamethasone).what u are experiencing is the withdrawal effect of steriod (dexamethasone). You wud taper the dosage for a period of 3 months.
The first month u wud take 3 mg. That means u wud have to break the tablet, the second month u wud have to take 2mg, for the last month u wud have to take 1mg (half tablet). Its only in this way u wud stop the drugs. Tanks
thanks alot sir, I'm glad, but just for clarification, the drug is only in 0.5mg and 1mg. so can I take the 0.5mg 3tablets to make it 1.5mg in the morning and night respectively to make it 3mg for the first month? or I can just take the 3mg at once a day, maybe morning, night or anytime in the dayhuh? thanks alot sir

The reason y he/she has to avoid cold enviroment is because extreme cold environment cause blood contriction and decrease the flow of blood to the heart and lungs! For someone with asthma that is already compromised with oxygen issue. This could precipitate asthma attack. With the cold environment acting as allergen and triggering a hypersensitivity reaction.

For the use of steriods. Beacuse the benefit out. weight the risk. The patient wud be on a steriod drug with lesser side effect,with less or zero withdrawal effect. Most recommended is Prednisolone.
Yes steriods are used. For life.
Please I have a serious case and something similar to this, I was so thin and I wanted to add up a bit if flesh, so someone introduced me to xasten, so I've been taken xasten,coldliver oil and multivitamin, I take the xasten twice daily with 1mg, which means I take 4mg daily. I have done this for a complete year, though there's a difference in my body tho, and I tried to stop, but Everytime I tried to stop, it was always one war or the other, it reacts mostly on my skin, like having different kinds of skin rash, and some serious hitching in some funny areas if the body, like genitals, my penis and rashes on my face, bumps in between my fingers, each time I go back to the drugs, it changes and heals up. but right now it's high time I stopped the drugs and live my normal life, I've started seeing some stretch marks on almost every part of my body, like under my arms, my bum, and my laps, please fix or pharmacist in the building, I need help. and, as fast as I can get help. thanks alot. I'm actually planning to visit a pharmacist today though, but I also need your advice, thanks alot....
