Can Metypred cause skin changes (e.g. acne)?

All drugs available for sale are checked for safety. When a pharmaceutical company places any drug on the market, it must prove that it is safe for patients. Therefore, it conducts so-called clinical trials - first on experimental animals, and then on humans. Whether a drug is safe and effective enough to be on the pharmacy shelf is assessed by the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products. The quality of the drug, i.e. whether it has no harmful impurities or bacteria, is also supervised by the Chief Pharmaceutical Inspector. Any drug - including Metypred - may or may not cause side effects. The manufacturer of the drug is obliged to inform the patient about all possible side effects that may be related to the use of his preparation, but this does not mean that everyone will see all of them. Irregular menstruation is one of the possible side effects of Metypred, but they do not necessarily have to appear in you. The information attached to the drug contains important tips that should be analyzed before its use. Such a benefit-risk assessment should be made by a doctor familiar with your medical history. Please do not worry in advance about the effects you write about, but focus on the correct implementation of therapy, which is the key to avoiding them. Fear of possible side effects can hinder the treatment process and it is this that can have a greater impact on the occurrence of side effects than the drug itself. Stress before reaching for the drug can lead to abandonment of therapy, which in consequences can be much worse for health than possible side effects that may or may not occur. The warnings contained in the leaflet must not be underestimated, but common sense should be maintained. If your doctor has prescribed a medication, it means that he thinks taking it is more beneficial for you than not being treated. The drug may or may not cause side effects, while if left untreated, the disease can worsen, cause adverse changes in the body or cause complications.

I have Crohn's disease. The doctor prescribed me Metypred 4 mg 1 x a day. In the leaflet I read that it is a steroid. I am very afraid to take this drug - I am afraid that my menstruation will be deregulated? Could it be? Is this drug safe?
