What would you take it once a week for. It doesn't act for a week.
It does help me jus flare up my eczema wen m home n stressed
If you're only taking it once in a while you can do it indefinitely. If you are taking it every week, then your dr needs to be aware. I doubt it will do anything to you at that dose. (bad I mean)
I used to take 10 mg every Sunday because my workplace was making me sick. Doing this kept me from having chronic bronchitis and sinusitis. I never gained weight.
