Brief Answer:
Steroid is safe for years under medical supervision.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the steroid supplement is mandatory after
pituitary surgery.

Wysolone is safe for long years when consumed under medical supervision and there is no alternate solution of the same.

I would like to know the details of any problems which you are having currently for further guidelines.

Thanks.
Dr Purva

Hi

Weight loss seems alteration in hormone profile or other endocrine issue affecting metabolism.

Nausea can be gastritis, not related to tapering dose of wysolone.

Thanks.
