What is your go to steroid regimen for post SRS headache?
If a patient calls you after hours with a headache following SRS and have not been given steroids, what is your preferred regimen?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
Start with Dex 2mg. If that works, then that's it. If it continues, can take a second dose later in the day. It is usually transient, so I don't prefer to give high/long doses and just manage as it comes. Typically, in a day or two, it appears to resolve in my experience.
