My father has a problem of pemphigus vulgaris... and doctor has prescribed wysolone 50mg and they will decrease the dose of medicine upto 15mg .He has a problem in eyes and mouth due to wysolone medicine please tell me the alternative to this medicine
The symptoms you mention in query occur due to wysolone as one of its side effects . As you mention that doctor had already try to reduce the dose and the problem is still there . I would suggest you to again consult your doctor may discuss other options like ' dexamethasone ' ( corticosteroid other then prednisone or wysolone) . There are other additional medicines also which can help in curing pemphigus vulgaris like supplements such as calcium and vitamin D , this will very helpful in treating this disease . Also take low sugar diet . Some times immunosuppresants also given .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
