A member asked:

Excessive snezing consulted doc. he prescribed prednisolone & diethylcarbamazine citrate but problem persisted so is it safe to take this med. always?

Treat the worms: Hi. If your doc diagnosed you with worms, that definitely needs to be treated. The prednisolone, on the other hand, should only be used for a very brief period of time, if at all. Prednisolone is a nasty drug in the long run. Good luck!
