What are the considerations for corticosteroid use in patients with allergies, including their effectiveness in managing allergic reactions and potential long-term risks?
Corticosteroids can effectively reduce inflammation and symptoms in severe allergies. Prolonged use, however, can lead to complications such as osteoporosis, hypertension, and immune suppression.
Corticosteroids are potent anti-inflammatories, ideal for managing acute allergy symptoms. Chronic use risks include glucose intolerance, adrenal suppression, and increased infection susceptibility.
