One of my patients is using this drug to help in wound healind for a stage iv sacral wound. She sustained this after suffering spinal infarct during a CABG. She is paralized from the waist down. Her wound had not been improving for many months until she started this medication.

My husband started taking this medication because he's getting up in age and wanted to build more muscle mass. I noticed an overabundance of perspiration almost immediately and a weird sour fruit smell that persisted. His humor deteriorated steadily and at the end of his trial RX he started having shortness of breath while laying down, which he blamed on the Summer heat. I told him I did not think this med was good for him.

Considering that steroids are the only treatment currently available for HAE patients this Med has been the lesser of many evils for me. Ladies, beware of the side effects due to long term steroid use. My swelling episodes have been under control due to this med, but the side effects have caused other medical issues.
