A member asked:
When used to treat severe skin allergic reactions, which is less likely to cause unpleasant side effects - kenalog injection or a medrol 4mg dosepak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong question: Depending on the problem there are various remedies. Neither injection nor tapered oral steroid is often the best approach. I never use either of these.
