Hello,

If this is the steroid contained (Prednisolone) so the moon face is a common side effect of this and it comes around very soon once you finish the course of medicine. For other symptoms stated here that might not be due to steroid but it can be due to some other etiology that may need further investigation but it is not the Gupisone causing this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
