But over 30 days is generally considered long-term steroid use. Most often, oral corticosteroids are prescribed for roughly 1 to 2 weeks — and only for very severe symptoms. But for certain chronic health conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, corticosteroids may be necessary for months or even years.

Although one study found that even short-term use of moderate corticosteroid doses may slightly increase the risk for serious complications — like bone fractures, blood clots, and sepsis. Long-term use of corticosteroids can cause an even wider range of side effects, even at lower doses.
