// Chapter 10 — Precautions
Who should be careful
- Never stop a steroid suddenly — the dose must be tapered exactly as your doctor instructs.
- Take it in the morning after breakfast unless told otherwise; this suits the body's natural rhythm and reduces sleeplessness.
- Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, tuberculosis, glaucoma, osteoporosis or any active infection.
- Steroids lower resistance to infection — avoid contact with chickenpox or measles if you have not had them.
- Long courses need monitoring of sugar, blood pressure, bone health and eyes.
// Chapter 11 — Interactions
What to avoid while taking it
- Avoid painkillers of the NSAID family together where possible — the stomach risk adds up.
- Diabetes medicines may need dose adjustment as blood sugar can rise.
- Tell your doctor about anti-epileptic, anti-tuberculosis and antifungal medicines, which change steroid levels.
- Live vaccines are generally avoided during steroid treatment.
- Limit salt and refined sugar during the course.
