For a prick, a large muscle is chosen, and it is highly desirable that adjacent tissues are not affected. In no case should intravenous or subcutaneous injection be allowed . Be sure to take into account the specific nature of GCS therapy, in which "Diprospan" is prescribed: this drug is prescribed in critical situations, when a positive effect is needed as quickly as possible. If the positive effect is not observed after the expiration of a certain time period, the appointment is reviewed, and a drug with an active substance of another group is prescribed. The introduction of an anesthetic together with "Diprospan" is possible, but in most cases there is no such need. On the contrary, with acute bursitis with pronounced pain syndrome, the introduction of a suspension into the joint bag facilitates rapid relief.
