Do not suddenly stop Taking Encorton, especially when you have taken it chronically. Doses should be reduced gradually. I have no information on how exactly Mrs Encorton was dosed and why it was used, so I cannot answer your question directly. The decision to discontinue the drug is made by the doctor and it is he who determines how the doses are to be reduced to avoid the so-called withdrawal effect. It can manifest itself in: fever, malaise and pain in muscles and joints. Below I attach a leaflet to the drug Encorton: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27147/encorton-tabletki/ulotka I encourage you to read the article on steroid treatment: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-sterydy-sa-bezpieczne
