Avatar f tn I recently had one of my dogs treated for a disc problem in her neck. She was given a decreasing dose of Prednisone to take over 10 days which helped her considerably. Now, my other dog (same size and age) is showing symptoms of the same condition. I want to try the Pred on him but I don't have any left. Instead, I have a large bottle of Prednisolone. If I gave Ruby 40 mg's of PredNISONE, would I now give 40mg of PredNISOLONE? Or would the dose be different?
Avatar m tn Hi i took 30mg of prednisolone for 2 days. how long will the medication be out of my system?
Avatar m tn i may have taken ofloxacin and prednisolone eye drops in my eye 5 times in a day instead of the 4 times like i was supposed to do.will it cause any harm?
Avatar f tn Dear Margi, Welcome to the Dermatology Expert Forum! Erythematous (red) papules (small bumps) on your chest could be caused by quite a few things. However, allergic reaction should be looked into first. Have you been taking any drugs, supplements, or applied topical products? Has that area been exposed to sun before lesions appeared? If I understood you right, you have been taking 5mg of prednisolone daily for six days. That is a rather low dosage and immediate results are not to be expected.
Avatar f tn Your doctor has presumably developed protocols over a period of years that have resulted in the success rates that were quoted to you when you selected this doctor or clinic. Following the protocols will give you the best chances for success. IF you do have an issue with a particular medication, it is also best to discuss that with your doctor so that he/she knows if you have chosen to deviate from the protocol. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Our research has found that high doses of Propofol used in critically ill patients in combination with glucocorticoids (Prednisolone) can cause the syndrome. We gave Prednisolone twice daily for a week before the Propofol was administered. So we are also curious what a normal dosage range of Propofol is for a 5.5lb cat? This was administered because they had to thoroughly inspect the mouth area and she did not want that to happen. It is squeamous cell carcinoma being treated.
Avatar n tn The seizures last about 2 minutes. Blood tests show his liver values are in the high range. Currently he is on 2ml Phenobarb twice/day and 5mg Prednisolone once/day. My vet refuses to let me go up with the Pred. I argue that since his time may be coming to an end why not go with 5mg Pred twice/day, but the vet does not budge. I also think that the Pheno is on the low end for a 10 pound cat with the amount of seizures he is having. Opinions please!
Avatar n tn hi there...I have been treated with prednisolone for pneumonia, was in hospital and have been recovering for 6 weeks. I was on prednisolone for 3 weeks and they did NOT taper the dosage.I have experienced horrific withdrawals and now have been given zanax for treating the extreme anxiety. It is 3 weeks since I took thelast prednisolone tablet, I am angry I was not advised to taper down the dosage and I am wondering how long I will be going through this awful period of withdrawal.
Avatar m tn It was prescribed for me after cataract surgery along with prednisolone (a corticosteroid). My dosage of both was 4x per day for the first postoperative week, 3x per day for the second, 2x per day for the third, and once a day at bedtime for the fourth week. Since Nevanac is an NSAID, I think of it as "ibuprofin for the eyes". I had no difficulties with it.
776872 tn?1247938680 Prednisone is a "rescue therapy" - i.e. it is used to help bring an acute flareup in control. Depending on dosage and length of use, it can cause multiple side effects, including weight gain, insomnia, mood swings etc. If you don't see reduction in frequency of bowel movements or amount of blood, check back with your doctor - you may need higher dosage or other meds in parallel. Note Crohn's is unsolved, so best the meds and docs can do is try to control it and its symptoms.
Avatar m tn You are correct in wanting to exercise caution. Prednisone is prescibed after many kinds of eye surgeries--in the dosage that you have been prescribed. I think as an aid in healing. I think your surgeon's office can answer this question, if Dr. Kutryb does not pick up your second question.
17344032 tn?1455826300 6 months ago my18 year old standard yorkshire terrier was diagnosed by the vet to have Bronchitis (Pneumonia) and pancreatitis For these conditions the vet prescribed 1 10mg Veraflox daily for 3 months, 2 50mg vivitonin, and 2 5mgprednisolone steroid daily for the rest of his life. He also has the royal caine gastrointestinal dry dog food.
Avatar f tn In the meantime, my head hurts really bad, I keep feeling dizzy and lightheaded and I am not fond of the way the Prednisolone makes me feel. Oh, yeah, he also had me cut way back on my salt intake for the duration of the steroid. I'm also a diabetic and have been trying to keep that in check as well. Is there anything else that I can do to relieve the pain and discomfort?
665797 tn?1225283365 tried the prednisolone but this did not work. Years later and many courses of prednisolone has left him in a very poor state, sleeping non-stop, swollen stomach, swollen face and total fatigue, we have seen many experts, they have now decided that his adrenalin gland has stopped working & he will always be on steriods. He now uses 100 percent oxygen to stop the headaches once they start - sometimes 3 times a night lasting for 15 mins, but he is stuck on prednisolone.
Avatar m tn I had to take 80mg (20 mg 4 times a day) for about 2 weeks after 4 days of the IV steriod in the hospital. With a high dosage you might find your doctor tapering the dosage. I have known people who have taken a higher dosage.
1580703 tn?1651904887 at what dosage dose and length of time does prednisone cause brain damage and memory problems, thinking problems? thanks!
907515 tn?1251727972 but every decade or thereabouts i get a severe crazy out of control flare up and right now i m going thru one of those... i m on prednisolone and diclofenac (only diclofenac works on me when it is severe, no other NSAID does)... but i hate the side effects of prednisolone!!! i just wonder if anyone out here also suffers from behcet's and has this kind of 'arthritis' that doesn't show up in RA tests?
5584541 tn?1371137015 anyone took metformin and prednisolone to help prevent them miscarrying.....I have been on it since trying to conceive now I am 9 weeks pregnant but my doc says he will take me off them at 12 weeks....I had 2 miscarriages both at 7 weeks so I was wondering if anyone else was on it and came off and had a successful pregnancy....
Avatar n tn The reason is that in a small amount of cases it has caused swelling of the brain. If you look at the label on cough syrup for children, even those typically recommend for age 6 and up (at least the brands I have seen.) When my 2 1/2 year old has a cold with a cough I give him milk slightly warmed with honey in it. I have also given him a teaspoon of honey on it's own. It works extremely well.
Avatar f tn He weighs only 25 lbs. After the first two 20 MG doses of Prednisone, I cut his dosage in half to 10 MG. Today I gave him only 5 MG and will obviously skip his evening dose and that will be the end of it. But his panting and shaking are worse tonight... it is scary to watch.
1491064 tn?1288394052 and she took him off everything but (Flovent and he takes that twice in the morning and twice at night)and(Prednisolone i keep on hand now just incase he gets really sick) I will look further into it, cause in my heart i really think all these medications mixed together messed his lil'head up on thinking and speaking.
Avatar n tn The cough, chest cold subsided however the deafness subsided somewhat but a faint deafness remained with tingling and echoing in same ear and now pain in and around the ear. ENT treated with two courses of antibiotics , however no further relief. As her presnisolone dosage was reduced over the course of one month her initial symptoms came back slowly but not as severe and ESR slowly increasing from 10 to 21 to 27 as Presnisolone dosage now reduced to 5mg.

Avatar n tn Day 5 after my last lot of Prednisolone - went to the hospital because of the pain and they checked me for anything heart related and couldn't find anything obviously wrong. September 2017 - 3/4 weeks off the drug and the pains are still constant everyday. I have been to my 3rd doctor who again doesn't believe it heart related, nor Prednisolone withdrawal. I am so fed up with pain.
