Brief Answer:
Further details needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Dexona (Dexamethasone) is a steroid and should not be used indiscriminately. I need to ask you why you had been using it and what complaints made you seek a remedy.

I would also need to know whether the doctor had asked you to continue it on long term basis. Please elaborate on what sort of problems you currently have in your body.

Based on your inputs I will surely guide you further.

I would await your response.

Brief Answer:
You need to be weaned off the medicine

Detailed Answer:
You need to visit a doctor and remain under his follow up. Such medicines should not be used indiscriminately. The present medication needs to be gradually tapered off over 3-4 weeks and your doctor would help in the step by step reduction of doses.
