You might be wondering if you're taking prednisone the right way.
Should you take it in the morning? Or bedtime?
With food?
On an empty stomach?
When does it kick in?
How long does it last?
How can I counteract side effects?
Prednisone is a steroid-based prescription medication used to treat a variety of conditions related to allergies, asthma, and skin conditions. It is taken orally or intramuscularly and is available in a range of doses between 5 mg to 60 mg per day. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, insomnia, nervousness, and increased appetite. As prednisone has a short half-life of 1-2 hours, it should be taken with food and out of one's system by bedtime, unless otherwise prescribed. It is important to recognize the potential side effects and take precautions to reduce the risk of any unwanted effects.

Can you pls help. Thnx

[@jerseyjim9092]

Rotator cuff injury, taking 40mg daily for 7 days. I got a huge improvement within 3 days. I know it has wide ranging effects to the body including spiking blood glucose. My question is how long does it take for the body to get back to status quo?

[@bedwardy]

Thanks so much. Are there any downsides other than potential sleep disruption of taking the second half in the afternoon? I Wondered if it would make it more prevalent in my body for longer potentially and thus more effective

You can ask either a pharmacist or your doctor which will be advisable for your condition. - Dr. Megan's Assistant

[@mrslminns]

I have ITP and RA. I take 4 mg of prednisone daily. However my Hematologist and eye Dr think it’s not good to be on it for so long. Well I tried to come off it and the joint pain and stiffness is overwhelming I can barely function at all. So I started taking it again. And I can feel my immune system backing off on attacking my body and joints.. I’m starting to feel like me again and functioning. I miss being able to work out 💪🏽. Which as soon as I put my body in remission I will be back in the gym. I have a low dose and I take it once a day. I’ve been on it for years now. What is the problem..? Why do they say that?? Because my body says I can’t go with out my dose..

[@PrednisonePharmacist]

I have ITP too! It’s so hard when it comes to pred because it’s a miracle med but also comes with some pretty serious and permanent side effects. I don’t think they want to increase your risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, or blindness. The balance of the risks and benefits is the tough spot in the middle that you have to work through with your doctors.
