Omnacortil contains the active ingredient Prednisolone.

The page for Prednisolone Details states that "A lengthy course of prednisolone can cause bloody or black tarry stools; filling or rounding out of the face; muscle cramps or pain; muscle weakness; nausea; pain in back, hips, ribs, arms, shoulders, or legs; reddish-purple lines on arms, face, legs, trunk or groin; thin and shiny skin; unusual bruising; urinating at night; rapid weight gain; and wounds that will not heal."

So it does sound like you are experiencing some of the side effects - Of course I would also suggest you report these symptoms to your doctor so that they can take appropriate measures if necessary. Please post back if you have any other details to share...
