Introduction

Oradexon belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. It is used in the treatment of various diseases and conditions (such as severe allergic reactions, asthma, rheumatic disorder, skin disorders, and eye disorders). Oradexon provides relief from swelling, redness, pain, and itching in the affected area by preventing the release of substances that cause inflammation. It should be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. Taking the medicine regularly at the right times increases its effectiveness. It is important to keep taking the medicine regularly until your doctor tells you it is safe to stop. The most common side effects of this medicine include mood changes, reduction in bone density, and stomach upset. If you experience such symptoms that persist or worsen, or any other symptoms which you think may be due to the medicine, let your doctor know.
