I've been prescribed Dexamethasone 6mg Tablets for my severe asthma. I understand it helps reduce inflammation and calms the immune system, but I'm concerned about the long-term effects. I've heard it can have serious side effects like high blood pressure and weakened adrenal glands. Has anyone else had experience with this medication long-term? What should I watch out for? My doctor assured me it's safe, but I want to hear from others who have been in similar situations.

I've been taking Accupril 5mg Tablets for about 5 years now to manage my high blood pressure. I'm curious about the long-term effects and what others who have been on this medication for a similar duration have experienced. Has anyone noticed any changes in their side effects over time? I've had some mild dizziness and a persistent cough, but nothing severe. Are there any specific things I should be monitoring with my doctor? I'm open to hearing both positive and negative experiences to get a well-rounded view.
