Entocort Reviews

Show: for
Short-term. After I used this I went into the hospital with worst episode.
Was freaking awesome in the beginning, but I started to need higher doses, and the insurance companies won't pay for it, so the doctors won't subscribe it. Almost no side effects compared to prednisone, and almost the same effect.
Newly prescribed.
Had to wean off because I developed Cushings Syndrome as a result of being on for so long. But it worked well.
allows me to eat a wider variety of food without pain. lowers c-factor protein response.
only temporarily
Used during Flares
ive had a little bit of side effects...really tired,headaches all the time,very weak,easily bruised
What I am currently on.
Being taken off this month.
Side effects included acne...surprisingly, no weight gain. THANK GOODNESS!
Entocort helped get rid of the crazy sore thingies on my legs. I can't spell the name of it though. :)
somewhat effective
works but still have side affects
took it after operation
