 Impact:
Hormonal imbalance, emotional distress, and increased risk of diabetes and bone weakness.

 

Management:

  • Gradual tapering of steroid use
  • Transition to safer, long-term therapies
  • Lifestyle changes: diet, exercise, bone support
  • Ongoing health monitoring and mental health support
  •  

Why Medication Consultation Matters:

A personalized medication consultant plan at Atmycare could have flagged the long-term steroid risk early and coordinated a safer treatment plan with the doctor — preventing complications before they start.
