The medication being asked about in this post might have been Prednisone, since medication names and spellings are quite often misunderstood.
It is a steroid class medication and prolonged use does risk some serious side effects, such as weight changes and fluid retention, which can lead to congestive heart failure.

Geriatric usage needs to be carefully monitored and it should only be used if the benefits outweigh the risk and for only as long of a time period as absolutely necessary.
Are there any questions or comments?
