Many patients with these conditions are managed conservatively outside hospital, with continued support from their gastroenterologist and occasional glucocorticoid medication. However, glucocorticoids are not a long?term solution for anyone with IBD, since they carry many unwanted side?effects, and can damage body parts and function years after ingestion, particularly if the dose was high and for longer than 6 months.

This article gives an outline of one of these drugs-prednisolone-what it is used for, and the side-effects that may arise. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
