Gud eve, I am 16 weeks 4 days pregnant now. Laat week I have been diagnosed vasculitis problem called purpura. I am getting pinpoint to large patches of red spots on thighs, legs and foot. So doc prescribed me to take omnacortil 20 mg for 3 days and asked me to taper it 15 mg, 10 mg, 5 mg like that for 3 days. Daily I am getting new spots and old one are fading. Is it safe to take omnacortil during my pregnancy. please help me. Does it affect my baby?

HI lybrate-user. According to me it is not safe as it is steroids and you know the bad effects of it and have no lasting effect. It just gives temporary relief. Better take homoeopathic treatment. To cure the problem permanently.
