Hi there,
I've been on Entocort for a little over a year (tried to taper a couple of times...). Hopefully will be switching to a biologic in the next month or so. I know Entocort is supposed to have fewer side effects than Prednisone because it doesn't act systemically, but is it possible that after this long on it I could be getting a moon face? I am a completely healthy weight, 5'5" 134 lbs, which is the top of my normal range but nothing unusual. I've never had a really plump chin but I've noticed I have a bit of a double chin, a bit of fat there! Completely confused, feels like it came out of nowhere. Maybe this is just what happens at age 29? If it is a side effect of the Entocort, would it go away when I switch meds? Thanks in advance for not judging my vanity...
