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.
