What Causes Weight Loss And Skin Allergies After Discontinuing Dexona And Practin?
Hi Doctor, I used Dexona and practin alternate days for couple of years, 1 tablet each for weight gain, i was not aware of the side effects then as soon as i knew the reality of it i stopped them. Been 8 months that ive stopped taking those tabs, that has left left me with massive weight loss and skin allergies such as pigmentation and acne scars. How long will the side effects of this hamper my life?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The skin allergies are due to your body dependency over steroids, in absence of which skin reacts to immune response. The weight loss issue should not be there after 8 months of discontinuation of steroids, it has to be evaluated precisely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
