What Is Erythema Nodosum?
7. Will My New Medication Have Side Effects?
If you are taking steroids, your doctor has likely advised you to take the medication once or twice a day for a short period of time. Be sure to follow whatever directions you have received, as steroids can cause weight gain, insomnia, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure if they are overused or used improperly.
If you are taking antibiotics, you may experience stomach upset during the course of pills, but any side effects from these will be temporary. Remember that your condition will not last forever, and you need the medication to feel better as quickly as possible.
