Why should you skip the evening tablets in the beginning?

The body’s natural cortisone level is highest in the morning and lowest in the evening. The more the cortisone administration from the outside adapts to the cortisone release of the body, the less the drug affects the adrenal cortex. It is therefore advisable to skip the evening tablets at the beginning – naturally in consultation with the doctor treating you.

What happens to the pain when I sneak out?

If cortisone preparations are discontinued, previously existing complaints, such as pain, can reappear. The more abruptly the cortisone preparation is discontinued, the higher the probability that a so-called rebound phenomenon occurs. This means that pain can reoccur, possibly intensified.

The more carefully the cortisone preparation is discontinued, the lower the risk of increased pain. If necessary, pain-relieving measures or medication can make the creeping out of the cortisone more pleasant. Individual consultation and treatment by a doctor is necessary to reduce the occurrence of pain.

Are there differences in the balancing of the various cortisone preparations?

The balancing of the various cortisone preparations can have different effects. As there are cortisone preparations with different concentrations of active ingredients, the strength varies. Correspondingly, the suppressive effect on the adrenal cortex is also differently pronounced.

In addition, every body reacts individually to all kinds of medication. Prescribed regimens are only an aid. An individual consultation with the doctor when taking any cortisone preparation can reduce uncertainties and side effects.
