Entocort

[Pirate]

Has anyone that has been on Entocort have problems with bruising. I've never bruised unless hit hard by something and the last couple of weeks I've noticed some bruises on my legs, arm and a couple on my ribs and I know I haven't hit or run into anything. They don't seem to be sore or tender, just bruises.
Unless it has to do with the Vicidin cause those are the only new meds I've been taking lately.

Yes, it is probably from the Entocort. It is a common side effect of steroids. Is it severe, or is it that you are bruising easily? If it is severe you should let the doctor know in case you are not clotting well....Steroids uggh!!!

I always have bruises, but had them before pred too. I have a habit of bumping into things with my butt especially, which is ridiculous if you saw how small it is!
As IMP said, bruising can be a side effect of steroids. If it is bad, perhaps call the doc?

I don't remember bruising when I was on Pred yrs ago. But than again I probably wasn't paying attention to much. Guess I was more conserned about the major side affects. Thanks.
