- Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions. Consumers are advised that corticosteroid use can impair a person’s ability to fight infections, cause high blood sugar levels, muscle injuries and psychiatric problems. When corticosteroids are taken for a prolonged period, or at high doses, they can suppress the adrenal gland and cause withdrawal symptoms with abrupt discontinuation.
- Cyproheptadine is a prescription antihistamine used for seasonal allergy treatment. Antihistamines may cause drowsiness and affect mental alertness.
In addition, these undeclared ingredients in Saurean Fong Sep Lin may cause serious side effects when combined with other medications.
