So if you're still unable to determine whether the cause is stress or medication related, it would still be wise to contact your doctor in the meantime just to play it safe. He/she may then suggest that you stop taking the medication until further notice. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a601102.html#side-effects When it comes to many of these types of side effects, ...

Need help with tablet count for prescription. I'm a student and I have to calculate the number of tablets needed to fill the rx. Prescription reads Prednisone 10MG # QS. The SIG is: 30mg bid x 2d 25mg bid x 2d 20mg bid x 2d 15mg bid x 2d 10mg qd x 2d 5mg qd x 2d (then stop) I also need help with writing the patient label based on this rx ... Thank you. Alan ## Hi Alan, I'm not quite familiar with your method for calculating the number of pills. Is there a type of formula you are following to get where you are? It's definitely something that one would consider to be as simple as putting the right number of pills into the right container, but I can see that it is much more than just that. Below are a couple of sites that I thought could be of help to you when calculating or co...

I have had problems with my feet and legs swelling for over 10 years. Recently, I was placed on Prednisone by the doctor for possible RA. The fluid retention in my feet and legs have gone down considerably. I know that this is not the normal side effect taking this medication. Could you possibly tell me the ingredient that could be causing this? I have tried other fluid retention medication and nothing seems to work, but I'm not comfortable taking the Prednisone for a long period of time to solve the fluid retention problem. ## There are no other active ingredients, it is Prednisone, which is a steroid class medication. So, I do understand your concern about taking it for a long period of time, that can be very dangerous. Learn more Prednisone details here. What type of diet do you ...

I have a twelve year old son with cystic fibrosis recently prescribed Prednisone 20mg. The prescription is to take 2 tablets twice a day. Does this mean take 2 tablets in the morning and two in the evening? ## You should check with his doctor or pharmacist to be certain, but going by the usual pharmaceutical directions, yes, it that normally means you should give him 2 tablets at each dosing. Otherwise, it should say take one tablet, twice daily, or something similar. Prednisone is a steroid class medication, so it may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, weight gain and fluid retention.

My dosage is 4x5mg daily for 5 days then 3 for 3 days then 2 daily for 3 days then 1 tablet daily for 3 days then stop My question is ! On the daily dosage for example 4 tablets per day do they have to be taken altogether or do you space them out over the day ## Hello, Alan! How are you? They can be taken either way, depending on what works best for you. Some people prefer to split them up to try to minimize the side effects. The U.S. FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, insomnia and nervousness. Is there anything else I can help with?

If I get symptom relief after one 25 mg tablet ;do I still need to step down the dosage or can I stop after 1 tablet ## Hello, Tony! How are you? You should follow your doctors instructions. Just because symptoms went away, that doesn't mean that problem has resolved, yet, so you may end up right back where you started, if you don't finish the medication. There can also be serious complications stopping a steroid suddenly. Are there any other questions or concerns?

My prescription states: "Take 1 tablet by mouth once daily in the morning as needed." Does this mean that I take it (I have 30 tablets) until the pain/stiffness subsides and then quit? ## Hello, LeTigre! How are you? Yes, that is what that directive would mean. It is sometimes prescribed that way, for instance my mother-in-law takes it in a similar way for her allergies/asthma, after years of dealing with it, she knows that it usually only takes 5 days of taking it to knock her symptoms out. However, if you're unsure, consult your prescriber or pharmacist. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia and acne. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you, Verwon. I anticipated that reply, so it gives ...

liget orange in color DAN scored 5443 ## Prednisone is a steroid anti-immflammatory medication. For example, I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia. At times, I am on Prednisone to make my joints and smooth muscles stop hurting so much. It brings the swelling down. Unfortunately, I am an insulin-dependent diabetic because of the lupus. Prednisone brings my sugar level up very very high; therefore, I can no longer use it. The biggest side effect of Prednisone besides bringing your sugar level up, is a ravanous hunger! You always want to eat, can never get enough! It causes some swelling to the joints, rash, bloating.

My Dr. prescribed 4 tablets of 10 mg for 5 days and then 1 tablet for 30 days. I do have premature heart beat and after my first dosage (yesterday at noon) my heart feels fluttery.

No, they can be split into separate doses or taken altogether. However, taken so many very close together might increase the nausea and dizziness that can be side effects. You may also experience fluid retention, rapid heart rate and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can someone take 10 mg of Prednisone then just stop or do you have to taper off? ## Just one tablet likely won't require a taper, but it's also not going to help you much, since that won't give it a chance to have much of a therapeutic effect in the body.

I have taken the 48 pac of prednisone before and it was a graduated dosage by the cards they were on - the prescription I received today was in a bottle and did not have any instructions on how to take them like the ones in the pac. Can you help? ## Are you starting to come off the med? I think you have to gradually come off it. But this current bottle must have a periodic schedule for it, only all at the same dosage. Is this new bottle prescribed by the same doctor? The safest bet would be to contact your doctor or the pharmacy who dispensed it. ## Was just prescribed this medication for a sinus infection.

My 20mg prednisone tablets have no expiration date. How long will they maintain their potency and life stored at room temperature around 78 to 82 degrees in fairly dry conditions? ## Hello, Gerry! How are you? If they are still in the original sealed bottle from the factory, then they have a 3 to 4 year expiration date, if kept in a cool, dark, dry location, which would be less than the temperature you've mentioned. If they are in a pharmacy bottle, which exposes them to the elements that cause degradation, then the expiration date is one year from the date they were dispensed to you.
