A member asked:
I had a reaction to decadron (dexamethasone). it made my heart race all day long. is it safe to take another steroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be fine: Oral steroids have various side effects. Each individual tolerates these medication differently. Your symptoms are not concerning for an allergic reaction. Talk with your prescribing physician about your symptoms, but I believe a trail on a different steroid would be fine.
