Hello Ganesh.. You are already on steroids (Omnacortil). Dexona is again a steroid... And the side effects of it is well known... Still if you are ready to take the risk then you can take it... But I strongly give advice against it.

Steroids are not advisable for a long duration as this condition is not curable. But it can be under control with medications and exercises need to consider breathing exercises if possible can try swimming/cycling .best for ankylosing spondylitis. Saaz 1gm has to be taken with frequent monitoring of your blood profile/lft.
