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 Those glucocorticosteroids are great drugs added to treatment and in helping people overcome some critical and severe illnesses, but they do have the potential for some bad side effects, especially in causing psychological ones like mood swings, anxieties and even psychosis, besides physical side effects. For you to be on it while having pnuemonia and being hospitalized strongly suggest to me that you were seriously ill.

Avatar m tn What you describe isn't familiar to me personally with one of my dogs. Nor do I have experience with using prednisolone, except that I know it's a steriod, often prescribed for inflammatory conditions. I'm afraid that's all I know about it and lack experience. But I do wonder if your dog's awful dizziness and restlessness could be to do with the ear condition itself... Is he also on an antibiotic for the infection?
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 m tn The prescription was a 10 day course and I was not informed of the side effects that I was to suffer. Because of my harried state at the clinic I neglected to ask what those side effects might be. I would know soon enough. I immediately started bloating and gaining weight. My appetite became insatiable. My moods became erratic, I became irritable, and depression set in. From what I've read online I was most likely given a generic form of Prednisolone. It has been awful.
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 Why are you on steroid eye drops? They have lots of potential side effects if used chronically.
Avatar f tn I refused to take methotrexate because I cannot accept the possible side effects. I am also refusing more prednisolone because of side effects and because it does not work completely. My doctor is trying me on doxycycline just in case this is caused by a corynebacterium. I am seriously considering mastectomy.
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.
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 commenced on 50 mg and at present weaning off slowly like 5mg every week. i got almost all of the side effects of this drug including cushing syndrome. the rashes on forehead,both sides of face and under chin including neck is one of the symptomes . i got it 3 weeks back but reduced a little at present.didn't wanted to go to G.P as they won't have any answer for these side effects.

446896 tn?1237802742 I usually have anxiety, but the last 14 days I have had unbelievable restlessness, panic, insomnia, severe heart palpitations/tachycardia, face swelling, etc. I have spoken to my nurse and two pharmacists who say that these are indeed side effects of prednisone, and that they should get better once I stop the medication. However, I have heard from others that these side effects sometimes persist after the medication is stopped.

Avatar f tn I've been told to go on prednisolone for 3 months or so in order to bring down my slightly elevated liver enzymes. I am worried that the prednisolone might react with the oroxine therapy which I am taking daily for my Hashimotos hypothyroidism. The amount of prednisolone is 25mg per day for 1 week, then 10 mg per day for 2 weeks, then 7.5mg per day for 4 weeks, then 5 mg per day until i see the doctor in 3 months time.
397460 tn?1268533736 I would like you to consider your tiredness as a side effect of prednisolone, apart from the other side effects. There is evidence in the literature that prednisolone causes fatigue. This, along with the suggestion by ampky can be the points to mention to your neurologist.
