On Wysolone For Tumor In Brain. Possibility Of Paralysis. Swelling In Body. Help?
TAB. WYSOLONE starting from the initial dose of 40 mg to 5 mg in reducing basis for a period of five months has been prescribed by a Doctor in a Cancer Institute for tumors in brain. Dr. advised that no operation could be performed as there is every possibility of paralysis . Now the patient has been taking WYSOLONE tab. for last two months. After consuming the same she has developed the problem of swelling throughout her body. Please advise what to do?
Wysolone is a steroid group of drugs, and it is used to reduce swelling in the brain. It is not clear for which tumor this treatment is being given. Tumor in the brain needs a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Wysolone is known to cause weight gain and swelling. However, once it is stopped, these changes would revert back to normal. In addition, blood sugar and BP may increase while on treatment with steroids, so, please keep checking BP and sugars on a regular basis.
Best wishes,
