Side Effects of Steroids

Purity of Ayurveda That Nourishes And Heals To Restore Your Health And Vitality

Steroids can be taken in the following two ways:

• By mouth (pills)
• Injected with a needle (Athletes who share needles to inject steroids also are at risk for serious infections including Hepatitis B and HIV, the AIDS virus.)
• Some athletes take even higher doses, called “”mega doses,”” to produce faster results. Others gradually increase the amount they take over time, which is called “”pyramiding.”” Taking different kinds of anabolic steroids, possibly along with other drugs, is a particularly dangerous practice known as “”stacking.

Possible Side Effects of Steroids?

• For many diseases, the benefit of taking steroids usually outweighs the side effects. Possible side effects include the following.
• Osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). However, treatment can help to protect against this if the risk is high. For example, you can take a medicine to help prevent bone loss.
• Weight gain. You may also develop puffiness around the face.
• Increased chance of infections as steroids may suppress the immune system. In particular, you are at risk of having a severe form of chickenpox if you have not had chickenpox in the past (and so are not immune). Most people have chickenpox as a child and are immune to it. If you have not had chickenpox in the past:
• Keep away from people with chickenpox or shingles.
• Tell a doctor if you come in contact with people with these conditions.
• Also, tuberculosis (TB) may flare up again if you had it in the past, even many years ago.
• Increase in blood pressure. So have your blood pressure checked regularly. It can be treated if it becomes high.
• High blood sugar which may mean extra treatment if you have diabetes. Steroids may occasionally cause diabetes to develop.
• Skin problems such as poor healing after injuries, thinning skin, and easy bruising. Stretch marks sometimes develop.
• Muscle weakness.
• Mood changes. Some people actually feel better in themselves when they take steroids. However, steroids may aggravate depression and other mental health problems.
• An increased risk of duodenal and stomach ulcers. Tell your doctor if you develop indigestion or abdominal (stomach) pains.
