Is Omnacortil Recommended For Sudden Hearing Loss?

Hi, MY father has a sudden hearing loss and we were advised by ENT doctor to consult the immunology for this sudden hearing loss. Immunology consultant advised us to take omnacortil 60 mg medicine for one month. My father is facing extreme weekness, impatience, severe pain in chest, uneasyness, less sleep. We are totally worried and when discussed the same with Doctor, he said we will reduce the dosage slowly to 30 mg in a months time. I am extremely worried as this will further deteriorate my father s health, please advise me....he can i get rid of this medicine and save my father s health. Regards Puneet Dhawan
