Side Effects of Glucocorticoids
Disease description:
Since I have allergic asthma, my doctor prescribed glucocorticoids for me. However, I am concerned about potential side effects. I would like to ask, what are the side effects of glucocorticoids?
Doctor's answer (2)
Dr. Li Qinghui
Hello, glucocorticoids can first cause adrenal cortical insufficiency, leading to symptoms such as central obesity, increased hair growth, and enlarged pores. Secondly, they suppress the body's immune function, reducing resistance and making the body more susceptible to other infections. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant life.
