Encorton is a steroid drug with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, m.in. The preparation may affect the functioning of the thyroid gland, which we wrote about in the opinion:
In case your doctor knew about Hashimoto's disease, you should use the drug according to his recommendations. While taking Encorton, it may also be necessary to modify the treatment of Hashimoto's disease. However, if you have not been informed about the disease, I encourage you to re-consult or use the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
