Why am I facing obesity problem after taking Omnacortil and Wysolone for eye redness?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you said you are having a problem with eye allergy. You were prescribed steroid tablets that are Omnacortil or Wysolone. But it is not good to take steroids for a longer duration. But if it is required as in your case, you must follow your doctor's advice. As you said that you are becoming overweight because of steroids, your doctor can help you in this by reducing the dose.

The common side effects of steroids are elevated pressure in the eyes (glaucoma), fluid retention, causing swelling in your lower legs, increased blood pressure, mood swings, weight gain with fat deposits in your abdomen, face and the back of your neck, cataract in eyes, high blood sugar which can trigger or worsen diabetes, increased risk of infections and delayed wound healing, thinning bones (osteoporosis) and fractures, suppressed adrenal gland hormone production, thin skin, easy bruising and slower wound healing, fungal infection in the mouth (oral thrush) and hoarseness.

So better you consult your doctor and discuss in detail with him regarding the side effects.
