Avatar n tn Doxycycline is one of them as well as azithromycin. Also, prednisolone is usually prescribed for cats with cancer to help reduce the inflammation the tumor causes. You can read about the antibiotic studies on google. Here is one study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4467100/ Very interesting! As a side note, if you use Doxy, do not use cod liver oil or any Vit A supplements as this can increase the risk for severe reactions.
Avatar f tn I increased my ibuprofen to 600mg 3x day long with the prednisolone drop 4x day. I am seeing the Uveitis specialist in 2 days. The Rheumatolist wants more tests before he sees me and then I can't get in until February. If it Scleritis how fast does it progress? Any suggestions about what I should ask the ophthalmologist?
Avatar f tn means that there is a lower risk of cancer. I am living in hope that this mass is more indicative of asthmatic changes or even scarring rather than lung cancer. My Mother has never spent time around smokers and has never even ventured into pubs or bars in her life. I am on leave until the middle of next week so I am unable to ask my Chest Physicians at work. Please can you give me some much needed urgent advice and some reassurance. Your help and advice would be much appreciated.
Avatar f tn Got send home with prednisolone but wondering how long it takes for it to kick in..she has barely eaten in the last 24hrs..no water either.
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 f tn Hello, Prednisolone has been used in treatment of sinus infections.It can be used in combination with methotrexate but only in sinus pain due to wegener’s granulomatosis.It can not be used in allergic sinusitis due to its various adverse reactions. Cyclophosphamide is the drug of choice along with prednisolone in wegener’s granulomatosis but methotrexate is used to maintain remission after a person has initially received cyclophosphamide.
Avatar m tn this concerns me, if what you mean is PREDNISONE (the canine variety of prednisolone). How long has your dog been taking prednisolone? This is a very powerful drug that should not be given long term. It can cause some severe and very damaging side-effects. Prednisolone does not cause or treat seizures, but it can create some severe symptoms and primaryt conditions that can lead to a dog having seizures.
7002065 tn?1443073614 After you posted I did look into Prednisolone so now was interested in reading your dose (down to 5mg per day, correct?) and how long have you been on Prednisolone? That 20 - 15 mg was just a few days and then the 5 mg is current... so how long have you been on this in total? It does seem that Prednisolone does cross the brain-barrier but can you verify this? Yes, it does seem safe at that low dose but I am worried every time I see any cortico(steroids)! Are you still on LDN?
1196922 tn?1265100570 t have access to prednisolone which I have used in the past. (2) I have had it for two weeks now, and with the Maxidex I am treating myself with a very outdated (2 years) eye dialator called isopto-homatropine 5%every other day? Can you make any recommendations! Thank you kindly for your help!!
Avatar m tn I agree with combining steroids such as prednisolone with an NSAID such as Nevanac or Ketorolac. Treatment usually needs to be for multiple weeks, with a slow taper off the drops. Your intraocular pressure needs to be carefully monitored, since the prednisolone can raise the eye pressure.
Avatar n tn my husband has been having constant boil in the eye at least on a monthly basis. He recently had eye treatment. could this boil be as a result of the drugs he took or another thing. i am worried.
Avatar n tn Last night, I had a small dark red spot in the white of my eye (~3mm in diameter). This progressed into a red streak radiating outward in my eye like a spoke. I believe it to be a broken blood vessel. I called the doctor and he said to watch it but that I shouldn't come in unless there are more issues. It is possible that the last couple of issues were coincidental and unrelated to the original issue (e.g. a stye and a broken blood vessel).
Avatar f tn And now two months completed and she has fever again and we control the fever with prednisolone Pls tell that can prednisolone effect the treatment with sofosbuvir and ribavirin or its okay to take with this theropy Many thanks.
Avatar m tn This did not work either, so the ivomec was increased to 2ml and a treatment of 5mg prednisolone was given for one week along with a treatment of 1 biotin daily. At first this seemed to help but after she came off of the prednisolone she started to lose hair again and the flakes started again. My vet then advised me to give her a constant dose of the prednisolone i.e 1 tablet every other day. This did not work.The yellow flakes are now all over her body and she scratches all night.

Avatar n tn My story started with a small lump in my right breast which then turned into an abscess and discharged on its own few weeks later. I was initially investigated for cancer and this was excluded. Over the next 12 months I had several abscesses which seemed to be all around the breast at different locations. These all discharged on their own and healed. I must add that they became less and less severe with time in terms of size. Treatments I had included 1.
Avatar n tn In fact I wanted to ask you for what you are on prenisolone for?For the present episode or for some other problem,how long?sure prednisolone can cause stomach problems.Did not the prescribing doc told you to withdraw in phases?

In the last few days noticed a "hazinness" on the perpheral of both eyes. A white light also. Not very dramtic. Getting break thru pain again. Should I be worried? would appreciate an answer. Thanks.
Avatar n tn Therefore, many, if not most, patients with episcleritis will not require any treatment. However, some patients with mild symptoms demand treatment and may benefit from the use of artificial tears. Occasionally, a clear history of an exogenous sensitization can be obtained, and removal of this agent will prevent recurrent attacks. Ocular therapy Simple episcleritis often requires no treatment. Artificial tears are useful for patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms.
Avatar f tn Hi, I had symptoms from nov 2012 & diagnosed in Dec (same story as you masstitis then cancer misdiagnosis). I'm also 35 with 2 girls in Sydney Australia. Being chronic it's hard to deal with never feeling well. I have found a brilliant Breast physician in Sydney who not only treats me physically but sees me weekly and calms me down emotionally- knowing you have some support really helps.
