Although elevated single doses are usually well tolerated, prolonged administration may lead to severe adverse reactions, which may also occur with long-acting esters. Therefore, doses for medium to long-term treatments should generally be reduced to the minimum necessary to control clinical signs.http://www.tacomavetmedication.com_x000D_n• Corticosteroids may cause iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s syndrome) during treatment, which causes a significant alteration in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and minerals; For example, redistribution of body fat, weight gain, weakness and loss of muscle mass and osteoporosis can occur. During treatment, effective doses suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. After treatment discontinuation, signs of adrenal insufficiency can occur which can lead to adrenal cortical atrophy and this may render the animal unable to cope properly with stressful situations. Therefore, care should be taken to minimize the problems of adrenal insufficiency after treatment withdrawal (for more information, see standard texts).
