The time it takes for the body to get rid of excess water after Encorton therapy is variable and depends on the individual characteristics of the patient, such as:
Duration of therapy: Long-term use of steroids can lead to more significant side effects.
Dosage: Higher doses may cause greater water retention.
Overall health: People with electrolyte imbalances may find it difficult to eliminate excess water.
Usually, after discontinuing the drug, the excess water begins to subside within a few weeks, but it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to several months for the effects to fully subside. There is no exact data on how much water is retained as it depends on many factors, but patients may notice a significant difference in weight and appearance after just a few days of using the drug.
