AoA Where do you want to have the injection. In joints it effects remain on average any where from 4 to 6 weeks . Hyaluronic Acid is better option than steroids
steroids have their side effects.
prolonged use should be avoided if possible
not safe with short term effects
it is necessary to know that for what purpose it is being used or planned.
injection are never used for long term and especially steroids have complications
give complete history so that we can guide you.
you can book online appointment for that purpose
Salam. It’s two end sword. So never use unsupervised without proper consultation.
