Hi, I am 36 year old male. I take corticosteroid for eczema overdose for 3 month by mistake. And now I feel weakness, dizziness what can I do now?

Question

Dear lybrate-user, corticosteroids, often called just steroids, are anti-inflammatory drugs. Most are synthetic forms of cortisone, a hormone naturally made in your adrenal glands. The best way to avoid overdose is to only take the medication according to your physician?s guidelines and report any alarming side effects or concerns that you have. Don't stop taking corticosteroid all of once, we have to tapper the dose. If you are experiencing only weakness and dizziness after taking overdose of corticosteroids, then boost your energy levels - start exercising, drink plenty of water and change to healthy diet and life style. As steroids are known to produce affects of many possible systems of body, based on the corticosteroid you are using, I suggest you to take an appointment for consultation, so that I can get the details of the case in depth and can rule out the exact changes or side affects and can guide you accordingly. With constitutional homeopathic treatment, we can treat not only affects of corticosteroids, but can address permanent cure to eczema as well.
