Good morning. For tinnitus I was prescribed Metypred in the following doses: 4 days x 48 mg 4 days x 32 mg 4 days x 16 mg 4 days x 8 mg Discontinue. I weigh about 60 kg. Isn't it too fast to get off such doses in this way? Additionally, the steroid intensified my noise and caused a new general squeak in my head. I did not find such information in the leaflet.

The use of metypred, as well as the termination of therapy should be strictly determined by the doctor. It is the doctor who decides how to dose the drug. Discontinuation of the drug should proceed as directed by your doctor. The method of discontinuation of the drug depends, m.in, on the total duration of the treatment: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/48768/metypred-tabletki/apteki If you believe that the method of ending the therapy has been incorrectly planned, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can also take advantage of the teleadvice offered m.in by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja So far, no increase in tinnitus has been reported after using Metypred. If the doctor thinks that the increase in noise and the appearance of a "squeak in the head" is the result of using the drug, I encourage you to report the occurrence of side effects of the drug. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane I encourage you to read additional materials: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/39229/metypred-na-szumy-uszne-lekarz-przepisal-mi-metypred-czy-dawka-32mg-nie-jest-z https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-pozbyc-sie-szumow-usznych https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-bac-sie-dzialan-niepozadanych-lekow https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-sterydy-sa-bezpieczne
