A member asked:
I took kortizon shots and i gained weight because of them. is there a way i can get the kortizon out of my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time will: If the shots have been discontinued, the cortisone is rapidly metabolized and is quickly gone from the systems. Unfortunately, the side effects, especially weight gain, take time to resolve. You need to reduce calories and you will lose weight.
