PRECAUTIONS/WARNINGS:
In patients on corticosteroid therapy subjected to unusual stress,
increased dosage of rapidly acting
corticosteroids before, during and after the stressful situation is
indicated. Drug-induced secondary
adrenocortical insufficiency may result from too rapid withdrawal of
corticosteroids. Corticosteroids
may mask some signs of infection, and new infections may appear during
their use. Corticosteroids may
affect the nitro blue tetrazolium test for bacterial infection and
produce false negative results.
Administration of live virus vaccines is contraindicated in
individuals receiving immunosuppressive
doses of corticosteroids. If inactivated viral or bacterial vaccines
are administered to individuals
receiving immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids, the expected
serum antibody response may not
be obtained.
Following prolonged therapy, withdrawal of corticosteroids may result
in symptoms of corticosteroid
withdrawal syndrome including fever, myalgia, arthralgia and malaise.
There is an enhanced effect of
corticosteroid in patients with hypothyroidism and in those with
cirrhosis. Corticosteroids should be
used cautiously in patients with ocular herpes simplex because of
possible corneal perforation.

ranging from euphoria, insomnia,
mood swings, personality changes and severe depression. Steroids
