What is Prednisone and what is it used for:
Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication that is used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as allergies, asthma, arthritis, and autoimmune diseases. Prednisone may also be used to treat certain types of cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma.
How to take Prednisone:
Prednisone is taken orally with food or milk, usually once daily in the morning. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Do not stop taking Prednisone without consulting your doctor, as suddenly stopping the medication can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Possible side effects of Prednisone:

Increased appetite and weight gain
Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
Mood changes, such as irritability or agitation

Fluid retention and swelling in the legs and ankles

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Prednisone:
Before taking Prednisone, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of stomach ulcers. Prednisone may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners and vaccines. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Prednisone may also decrease the body’s ability to fight infections and increase the risk of developing infections. It is important to avoid contact with people who have contagious infections while taking Prednisone.
Prednisone is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It may also pass into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Prednisone while breastfeeding.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Prednisone. Deltasone (Prednisone) is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
