I am suffering from neck pain from last 10 days. I consulted a physiotherapist nearby my home. He advised me to take therapy for 5 days and oral medication which is deflazacort 6 mg and etoricoxib and thiocolchicoside. Twice a day for 5 days. Today is my 3rd day. One of my friend who is studying pharma, told me that deflazacort is a steroid drug and if I sudden stop its dose. There will be adverse effects on the body. I do not want to continue with steroid. Can you tell me if there will be any adverse effect if I stop taking it. I am scared of steroids.
