How it works:
Faq for medicine:
A: Stemin is a glucocorticoid and belongs to a group of medicines called steroids also known as corticosteroids. These are synthesized naturally in the body and help to maintain health and well-being. Two main classes of corticosteroids, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids are involved in a wide range of physiologic processes, including stress response, immune response, and regulation of inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism, protein catabolism, blood electrolyte levels, and behavior.
Q: Is Stemin safe to use?
A: Stemin is safe to use when used for an indication in a dose as advised by your doctor.
Q: Does Stemin cause hair loss?
A: Stemin is not known to cause hair loss. Rather, it may cause an increase in body hair growth (especially in females) on long-term use. Talk to your doctor if you get excessive hair growth on your body while taking Stemin.
Q: Is Stemin an antibiotic?
A: Stemin is not an antibiotic. It's a glucocorticoid.
Q: Does Stemin work in retention edema?
A: Stemin is not used in retention edema. Glucocorticoids can cause fluid and salt retention as a side effect thereby causing edema or aggravating edema. However, Stemin does not normally cause retention of salt and water and the risk of inducing edema and hypertension is almost negligible.
Q: Is Stemin stronger than hydrocortisone?
A: Stemin and hydrocortisone belong to the same class of medications (i.e. corticosteroids) and produce almost similar pharmacological responses. The effect may vary based on the conditions and individual response. Always follow doctor’s advice regarding its use.
Q: Can I take Stemin with ibuprofen?
A: An increase in the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding may occur if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen are taken with corticosteroids. Talk to your doctor before taking Stemin with any NSAID.
Q: Does Stemin expire?
A: Yes, Stemin does expire. All the medicines come with an expiry date mentioned on the pack. You must check the expiry date before using any medicine.
Q: Does Stemin cause insomnia?
A: Stemin can cause insomnia (inability to sleep). Most people find that using this medicine for a short time causes no problems. Talk to your doctor if you experience insomnia while taking Stemin.
Q: Does Stemin cause weight gain?
A: Stemin can cause weight gain especially when high doses taken for a long time or repeated short courses are taken. Please consult your doctor if you experience weight gain after taking Stemin.
Q: Is Stemin a hydrocortisone?
A: Stemin is not a hydrocortisone. These are two different drugs which belong to the same group of medicines called steroids (also known as corticosteroids).
Q: Is Stemin over the counter?
A: Stemin is not an over the counter (OTC) medicine. It is available only when prescribed by a doctor.
