Many: Cortisone should not be used for minor conditions especially when there are safer and more effective options. Chronic cortisone intake may suppress your own adrenal gland, increase your risk for diabetes and bone fracture, weight gain, cataracts , bruised skin etc. If you have hay fever, you need to taper the drug off under your doctor's supervision. See another doctor if necessary .
