I have just finished a coarse of prednisolone 35mg for my osteo if pain returns is it safe to resume another coarse as before? ## Hello, Joyce! How are you? Prednisolone is a steroid class medication, so there is a risk of it causing some dangerous side effects, such as fluid retention or congestive heart failure, thus it would not be a good idea to take more of it, unless your doctor approves.

Hi I have just got back from the hospital and the Dr had given me 28X prednisolone. On the sticker she's wrote : Take 6 tablets once a day for 3 days. Does this mean take 6 tablets all at once or spread it through the day? It just seems a little wild taking 6 in 1 go... why not just put me on a higher dose...? ## Hello, Charlie! How are you? Unless the instructions say otherwise, you can do either, or; you can split them up, or take them all at once. This medication can cause nausea, anxiety, insomnia and nervousness as side effects, so some people do prefer to take them all at once, in the morning, so they aren't dealing with such issues at bedtime. It could simply be that the dosage you needed is hard to find. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am wondering if the prescription methyprednisolone is similiar to the herb MSM ## I have a lot of trouble with my hip and became nearly incapacitated this past summer when my hip rocked back on me.Chiropractic treatment helped, but I still struggle with pain and mobility issues. I was given methylprednisolone for a rash in my leg about two months later, and I felt like a teenager again-even ebing able to have a foot race with my son. I was wondering if the natura remedy of MSM was similiar to the methyprednisolone. ## No, they are not similar. Methylprednisolone is steroid class medication, it probably helped with your mobility issues, because it tends to shrink swelling and inflammation. That would lead me to guess that part of your problem with pain and mobility is due to inflammati...

I have to start today. 4 times 5 tablets fo five days! Than go to 15mg 3x5 for five days. The question is isn't this a very high dose ot 20 tablets a day? ## Hello, Lili! How are you?

My Prednisolone tablets are sealed in plastic.They are dated 2012. Still good & safe to take? ## How long are prednisolone tablets sealed in plastic safe to take ## Hello, Vic! How are you?

The FDA classifies this medication as a steroid that is used to treat allergic reactions, swelling and immune disorders. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, weight gain, fluid retention, acne and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can my 3 year old take over the counter cough medicines while on prednisolone? ## HI Renea, If you let me know which exact cough medicine you are thinking about giving your child, I can look up the exact ingredients and check for any interactions. However, I did run a preliminary google search to see if Prednisolone can be combined with any of these common OTC cough medicine ingredients: Dextromethorphan, Codeine, Guaifenesin, Pseudoephedrine - and found that there are no unsafe interactions. I hope this helps! ## Similasan

Hello, I have been diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome since the age of 6 and have always been taking Corticosteroids. Although this year the doctor has prescribed me with Prednisolone for the first time. The side-effects have been worst than what I thought, to be honest the cramps and the muscle pains have been really bad but nothing that I wasn't already used to. I couldnt do sport anymore because I couldnt breathe after only 2 minutes of activity. Swollen face was also something I was used to..as well as the acne all over my face and body. Stomach ache so strong I couldnt walk. Of course this is in someway depressing when you are 22 years old and love to hang out with your friends and enjoy life, in someway it actually stops you, psychologically in doing different things, either yo...

I was prescribed Prednisolone to treat Polymyalgia 11 years ago. Initially I took 15mg a day which was quickly reduced to 10 and gradually to 5mg. I have tried gradually reducing the dose many times in the intervening years but always ended up with a severe return of the original problem. I have now managed to reduce the dose to 4mg daily. My condition is aggravated by my having type 2 Diabetes for which I take insulin because of the steroid treatment. I have recently noticed swelling in my legs and ankles during the evening more especially during periods of hot weather. Also my stomach and breasts seem enlarged. I am trying again to reduce the dose but am concerned about long term effects. Any comments or advice would be appreciated. ## You may always have to take a medication to treat...

I have been on prednisolone for 5 weeks. Started with 25mg for 2 weeks (I felt amazing on this dose), then tapered down to 15mg for a week and a half when I had a flare up of my condition, and my surgeon told me to increase to 50mg. That was rough. I was so angry inside and had no control over my emotions. I was on 50mg for a week. I’ve now tapered back to 25mg for a couple of weeks. It’s now day 6 of the lower dose. The first couple of days, I was an emotional mess, couldn’t stop the tears. I couldn’t function. The surgeon had told me I’d have a rough couple of days and he wasn’t wrong. I feel I am starting to level out and am less emotional but I am just so tired. I wake up exhausted, then nap and still don’t wake up feeling any better. Is thi...
