[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you’re overthinking. They aren’t antibiotics where a case could be made for overuse. [/quote] It’s a different case. Using steroids in one patient does not reduce the steroids’ effectiveness in anyone else. But steroids cause a raft of side effects that can be worse for the patient than antibiotic side effects are. With that said, a <10 day course I would!’t hesitate about. I was on them for nine months and have a cataract to show for it—fortunately I got away without bone loss, diabetes or psychosis.[/quote]
