Vamorolone, as a novel dissociative corticosteroid, has milder side effects compared to traditional hormones, but attention should still be paid to its endocrine and metabolic effects. The following provides a detailed explanation from two aspects: the manifestation of side effects and medication precautions.

1. Effects on the endocrine system

(1) The most common type of facial expression is the class library Xin like appearance (with an incidence rate of about 15%), but the degree is milder than traditional hormones.

(2) It can be regulated through a low sodium and high potassium diet, and it is recommended to regularly monitor growth rate and bone age.

2. Metabolic abnormalities

(1) The risk of weight gain is reduced by 40%, but calorie intake still needs to be controlled.

(2) The incidence of abnormal fasting blood glucose is about 8%. It is recommended to screen for glucose tolerance before treatment and recheck HbA1c every 3 months.

3. Gastrointestinal reactions

(1) The incidence of nausea and vomiting is about 12%, mostly occurring in the early stages of treatment.

(2) It is recommended to take it with food and administer it in divided doses to alleviate symptoms. Continuous vomiting requires assessment of electrolyte balance.

4. Neuropsychiatric symptoms

(1) The incidence of emotional fluctuations is about 6%, manifested as mild irritability or insomnia.

(2) Usually adapt within 2-4 weeks, and in severe cases, consider adjusting the administration time (changing from morning to noon).

5. Special precautions

(1) Co administration with live vaccines may weaken immune response, and it is recommended to have a vaccination interval of ≥ 4 weeks.

(2) Long term use still requires vigilance against adrenal suppression, and drug discontinuation should be gradually reduced.

6. Monitoring requirements

(1) The baseline examination should include ophthalmic assessment, bone density, and growth curve.

(2) Monitor height velocity, spinal X-rays (for children), and bone metabolism markers every 3 months during treatment.

7. Medication precautions

(1) Administration method

The whole tablet should not be chewed. It is recommended to take it in the morning to conform to the physiological rhythm. Missed doses should be replenished as soon as possible on the same day, but not double the dosage.

(2) Special populations

Children need to strictly monitor their growth parameters, and elderly people should pay attention to adjusting their dosage for kidney function. Pregnant women should only use it when the benefits significantly outweigh the risks.

(3) Drug interactions

When used in combination with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, a 50% reduction is required. The interval between live vaccine administration should be ≥ 4 weeks to avoid weakened immune response.
