How Safe Is Omnacortil And Does It Have Any Side Effects And Also Have Allergy Symptoms Like Runny Nose And Watery Eyes?

Hi!
My daughter 12 years old has a reading of 1345
She has been advised Hatrazen 100 two tablets three times a day plus clamist twice daily. In addition she has been asked to take omnacortil 40 one tablet on Saturday and one on Sunday for 2 months.
Earlier her ige reading was 800 about 2 months ago.
She has been tested for allergies to various food stuffs and medicines which she avoids.
Just want to know how safe are the medicines and will omnacortil produce any side effects? I feel it makes her hungry. She is under the care of a skin specialist. Her allergic symptoms included watery eyes, running nose, hive once in a while before she was advised allergy test.
Please advise thanks

Hi. Omnacortil in the the said dose may be safe as it is 80 mg per week. This will be started to taper off, means reduced over the time. Avoidance of allergy producing things is the best way of treating allergies which you are already doing. On a safer side she can take take oral calcium which comes with added Vitamin D-3. Hetrazan can be stopped after 3 weeks and is given on an empirical basis.
