577603 tn?1217700205 Hi, Has anyone taken the above tablets- they are a steroid and I have been put on them as the doctor is not sure if it is Chron's or Colitis. Just wondered what side effects anyone had experienced on these?
Avatar m tn My GP then prescribed Predsol (Prednisolone Sodium Phosphate) drops - one drop three times daily for five days. The list of side effects looks quite scary and so far I havn't used them. The side effects include: "Glaucoma, blurred vision or problems with sight, enlarged pupils, drooping of the upper eyelid, thinning of the cornea or sclera which can lead to perforation.
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 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. Talk to your vet straight away and start a diary of seizure events, describing how and when they happen. This information will be useful to your vet.
Avatar n tn Vosoghi will comment further as to side effects. I believe prednisolone has a tendency to increase the intraocular pressure with continuous use, but it usually is not an issue if used for a short period (i.e., 2-3 weeks or so).
Avatar f tn I had been in a treatment with prednisone and Methotrexate for one year but the abscess goes away and comes back, so I guess that the medicine is not working in my body, at less not for the GM, b/c is killing me with the side effects. I would like to start think on the mastectomy but i am really confused. yesterday I was on the Dr and actually I have a drain until tomorrow when the Dr will change it.
Avatar m tn The possible side effects scare me. Can I gradually taper off the frequency of these steroids as long as the eye stays clear and comfortable? I saw some recommendations on-line for lowering frequency in 2nd week to 3x per day and 2x per day in 3rd week.
Avatar f tn Why are you on steroid eye drops? They have lots of potential side effects if used chronically.
1491064 tn?1288394052 There are some medications that can cause some long term side effects (which may mitigate in time) such as tardive dyskinesia (a specific long term movement disorder for more information google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia" note as the site itself says "some of these medications may be medically necessary") one variant of which is tardive tourettism which causes a person to have tics that can interfere with speech.
7002065 tn?1443073614 there are people that use the drug for years for RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and there were trials that looked into the side effects of long term administration of low dose corticoid treatment namely Prednisone and Prednisolone, the side effects were minimal.
Avatar n tn 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?
776872 tn?1247938680 So i was diagnosed yesterday with crohns disease in the small intestine, they have put me onto prednisolone tablets.The tablets are 5mg each but i have to take 30mg a day. I toke them yesterday and today everytime i've been toilet it has still been diaahrea but i don't expect this to get back to 'normal' for atleast a week anyways. i have also been put on calichew d3 which is calcium and vitamin D. Have you been on prednisolone if so.has it worked did you have side effects.
446896 tn?1237802742 This is well known for all the ractions you say in your Post, they could have warned you, if you go to the search Engine and put it in,then side effects it will tell you, I was offered it for Hives a week ago and did some reasearch I still have the Hives but I an glad I did not take Prednisone, THey should tell you to come off it slowly but I guess as it has been tapered off you will be okay, can you ask them if you will have withdrawal.Good Luck, in future look these drugs up.
