Can formonide cause numbness in shoulder?
Patient: I am 32 year old and asthama patient and where I am staying is cold weather -5 deg C temperature I am taking formonide 400mg and since last one month my left side shoulder is sensless, Last year I fell on left shoulder during winter. please let me know is that because of this medicine or something else Doctor: Hello,  Very unlikely. Formonide does contain a steroid. It also contains a bronchodilator.   Although steroids can cause weight gain, when they are inhaled as Foracort is, the risk of side effects like that or ant shoulder numbness are pretty rare.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
