Zempred 4 Using Only Once In A Month

I am getting rashes on my forehead due to hair colour treatment, though I use ammonia free colours. Way back in 2009 I developed severe allergies through hair colour treatments and was advised to take zemfred 4 for 3 days along with some antibiotics. I was surprised to see the results. Post the treatment I started with ammonia free hair colour as advised and was happy till date but now even the safest colours do not suit. Whenever I go for hair colour and get a rash. I usually take 1 zemfred 4 during the day and half next day, which gives me lot of comfort. Please tell me what are the side effects I am going to face if it is used once in a month only after coloring my hair? Is it advisable to use it like this?

Hello, Jaya! How are you?

That is not a lot to take, but this medication is a steroid, so as reported by the U.S. FDA, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, nervousness, insomnia and irritability. Long-term usage could result in brittle bones, weight gain, and fluid retention.

It might actually be better to see if there is an antihistamine you can take, a few hours before you get your hair colored that will help prevent this reaction, such as Diphenhydramine/Benadryl, your doctor should be able to recommend one.

Alternatively, rather than just ammonia free hair color, they also often have ones that are made for those with sensitive skin, so they are much more gentle than the others. It's the type I've been using, ever since the time a few years ago, when I had a bad reaction to a perming solution.

Is there anything else I can help with?
