I don't think it's come to the UK yet. I did a quick search and I think it may be the same as prednisone? Apparently there may be problem side effects but which drug hasn't got side effects.

Really you need to try medication for a few weeks at least to see if it helps as some side effects wear off after a while. It's always best to discuss things with your Dr.
