Is prolonged consumption of wysolone 500 safe? It was prescribed to my mother in law as she's suffering from rheumatoid arthritis from a long time. In the recent consultation the higher dose was recommended. Is it safe for a prolonged consumption?

Hello. I assume the dose of wysolone you have mentioned is incorrect. You get wysolone in 2.5 mg/5 mg/10 mg so on and so forth. Please check. Whatever might be the dose, there are some conditions in which wysolone needs to be taken regularly, but in rheumatoid arthritis, it is possible to take the patient off steroids as nowadays there are many other drug options to control the arthritis. Steroids are wonderful to control the disease but there are some long term side effects so it should not be used in the long term. Consult a rheumat to see how can that be done in her case all the best.

You need taper wysolon otherwise initially it will help but later on patient will be steroid dependent and other medicine may be also less effective.
