My mom has inflammation in the occipital lobes and hence she cannot see. Doctor prescribed Omnacortil-10 40 mg per day for 10 days. Doctor then reduced it to half a tablet everyday and then finally stopped. After a week ior so,her problem came back and she is now back to taking 40 mg. I understand this is a steroid. I am not sure if this is safe to take or is there any other medication that can be taken?. My mom 61 years old.Please reply
Hello, Besides the possible effects of corticosteroid Chat Doctor.  I think in your mothers' case Omnacortil should be continued until there will be evidence of improvement of inflammation. Discuss with the treating Doctor for these issues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
