No deltacottil EC is better than simple deltacortil . You need not to change it

Prof. Dr. Moazzam Ali Atif · Answer

EC or red one is better , as it will not dosturb stomach in long run. keep on taking EC

Prof. Dr. Saira Mustehsan · Answer

yes it is ok to use. Don't worry about side effects as it has been already shared with you by your physician. Strictly monitor your blood pressure, blood sugars, any infection especially white coats on tongue, pain in bones and muscles etc. Do take protection of stomach and your calcium supplements along with extra minutes of exercise in daily routine.

Dr. Ayesha Khalil · Answer

There is no harm in taking enteric coated deltacortil. It will work the same. Enteric coating is supposed to protect your stomach from side effects of deltacortil. But true protection from this side effect comes from taking an anti-ulcer medicine like omeprazole.

Dr. Azhar Tanvir Ahmad · Answer

Enteric Coating is for protection of stomach erosions which can be caused by Deltacortil so Enteric coated ones are better that way. No difference in effectiveness though.

Dr. Ahmad Naveed Sheikh · Answer

enteric coated tablets are more friendly to the stomach. steroids are notorious to cause gastric/peptic ulcers. enteric coated tablets can help prevent/worsen such conditions.

Prof. Dr. Aamir Shahzad · Answer

It&acirc;&euro;&trade;s ok to use enteric coated, as it will not affect your stomach.

Dr. Umair Khurshid · Answer

There is not much of an evidence based difference bw the two. Steriods cause gastric ulcers/erosions so they r coated to prevent this process. However, the best is to use stomach capsules to avoid this gastritis e.g omeprazole.

Dr. Iftikhar Ahmad · Answer

U can use it .. but prolong use of deltacartil is not good .. enteric coated is safe for stomach

Dr. Ishtiaque Hussain · Answer

Thanks for asking the question. Enteric coated deltacortil is protective for stomach and is a better alternate, so you can use it. Keep in mind if you are using deltacortil for prolong duration then you have to take medicine to protect your stomach and strengthen your bone with vitamin D.

Taseer Cheema · Answer

It&acirc;&euro;&trade;s a steroid and I wonder why you are on it. Enteric coated is better because long term use of steroids damages stomach lining. If you are on long term therapy then you need to be on omeprazole or any proton pump inhibitor to protect stomach.

Prof. Dr. Saera Suhail Kidwai · Answer

coated is better as it doesnt cause acidity

Asst. Prof. Dr. Sami Ullah Mumtaz · Answer

Dr. Muhammad Asad Raza · Answer

Dr. Suhail Ahmed · Answer

Thanks for your question, and it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s ok or even better to use enteric coated tabs to protect the stomach. But would u like to tell the reason of using deltacortil?

Dr. Muhammad Ishaq Khan · Answer

it doesn't really matter as long as the deltacortil strength is the same. in fact, the enteric coated would be better for your stomach. hope it helps. but try to take some stomach medications (omeprazole etc) with oral steroids,

Dr. Tariq Mehmood · Answer
