5. SIDE EFFECTS:
Anti-inflammatory corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone, are known to
exert a
wide range of side-effects. Whilst single high doses are generally
well tolerated, they
may induce severe side-effects in long term use and when esters
possessing a long
duration of action are administered. Dosage in medium to long term use
should
therefore generally be kept to the minimum necessary to control
symptoms.
Steroids themselves, during treatment, may cause Cushingoid symptoms
involving
significant alteration of fat, carbohydrate, protein and mineral
metabolism. For
example, redistribution of body fat, muscle weakness and wastage and
osteoporosis
may result. During therapy, effective doses suppress the
hypothalamopituitreal-adrenal axis (HPA axis). Following cessation of
treatment,
symptoms of adrenal insufficiency extending to adrenocortical atrophy
can arise and
this may render the animal unable to deal ade
