Answer 1

Medical corticosteroids are NOT the same as anabolic steroids that athletes take (illegally)

Here's some more information:

Answer 2

The steroids that you are given by the doctor are not at all the same as the ones that are abused for athletic reasons. The drugs you got from your doctor should not cause any kind of effects that are similar to those of anabolic steroids. If you are experiencing some kind of side effects as a result of the medication that your doctor prescribed, you may need to address this with him/her, and they will figure out from there what the necessary course of action should be.

Answer 3

Just let it work. most of all be grateful you did not lose the eye.
