Defza 6mg And Weight Gain
Updated
Rose Says:
I have rheumatoid arthritis. I've been taking defza 6mg for more than one and half years. I am now gaining weight (10 kg). Can I stop taking it? When I stop taking the tab will I get back to my normal weight and when I stop immediately will I have severe pain? Please advise.

This contains the active ingredient Deflazacort, which is a steroid class medication, so after being on it for such a long period of time, you cannot abruptly stop taking it.
In order to get off of a medication such as this, you have to slowly taper the dosage.

However yes, it is likely that you will lose some of the weight, once you are off of the medication.
Have you consulted your doctor for advice?
