Asked for male, 67 years old from Panaji

I take steroid for immunisation problem (bullous pemphigoid). Initially started with omnacortil 30 mg and then gradually reduced to 5 mg. Then another doctor changed it to dexamethasone 0.5 mg. Later he was reducing it to half tablet for 15 days and then half tablet alternate day for 15 days. Then I used to get boils within 4 - 5 days. Again he used to go back to 0.5 mg daily. This second doctor's medication continued for nearly 1 year. I happened to mentioned it to a friend of mine who has some knowledge and he told me that the human body needs steroid and it produces daily about 4-5 mg of steroid. I would like to know when we person take steroid externally does our body stop producing steroid or the external dose adds to our body's normal production? Also if we take dose on alternate day does our body produce steroid on the days we do not take steroid? I am confused and would be grateful if you clarify this for me. Thank you in advance.

Dear Jitendra,
Dexona is dexamethasone, i think. It is NOT a drug for alcohol dependence. But alcohol dependent person like your father, may be having many other illness that may be treated with dexamethasone.

Hello lybrate-user the adrenal gland release certain hormones which further affect the proper functioning of other glands so it's better to investigate the problem or proper test should be done to rule out the cause. U can opt for ayurvrdic treatment n practice yoga which really help to control proper functioning of the body.
