Hi Doctors
What are your thoughts on the use of triamcinolone or betamethasone for treatment of symptoms associated with the flu? Good, bad, indifferent?
Thanks
Andrew

I’m assuming you mean systemic corticosteroids. I don’t routinely prescribe them for flu.
The available evidence is weak, but not encouraging: Corticosteroids as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of influenza - PubMed
Correct. Thanks. That was what I wanted to know.
