Hi, I have lichen planus and my doctor prescribed Omnacortil 10mg. Im a bit concerned about the side effects of this medication. Can you tell me what effects I might experience while taking it?

Tablet Omnacortil 10mg contains prednisolone, which is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation. In the treatment of lichen planus, Omnacortil 10mg can help reduce itching, redness, and inflammation of the skin lesions. However, it is important to note that long-term use of corticosteroids like prednisolone can have side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, increased risk of infections, and thinning of the skin. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects.
