Common Questions and Answers about Prednisone dosage allergies

Are you under the care of a pulmonary specialist. Also other comorbid conditions can aggravate the asthma, such sinusitis, GERD and unknown allergies. You really should be tested for allergies, if you haven't already. GERD can be silent and produce a cough as it's only symptom. If another cause can't be found then an increase in inhalers is a good idea. How many puffs/day of your Symbicort do you use? You can use safely up to 8 puffs/day.
If this responded to prednisone is increases the likelihood of atopic dermatitis (environmental allergies) and greatly reduces the likelihood of food allergies. Food allergies rarely respond to prednisone. Often I can keep my patients comfortable on prednisone if I start to reduce the dosage to find the minimum effective level. Prednisone is not like antibiotics in such that they do not need to be given at a minimum dosage...resistance is not a concern.
My allergist at one point gave me a script for 30 pills of 5mg prednisone. He told me that if I was having issues, I could try doing just two days of it instead of a week, etc. Is it okay to do that? I took some about two weeks ago for allergies (two 5mg pills, then 1 the second day). I now have a bad cold and swelling in my throat (and I am living with a pet I'm allergic to (out of my control)).
I have the exact same problem and have had it or several years. Initially my asthma was triggered by colds - now it is also triggered by allergies. My asthma is not the typical throat constriction per se - I get a persistent cough that seems to get worse as the day progresses. What usually works for me is to immediately go on predisone (60mg) as soon as I get sick - and stay at that dose for at least a week. As I start to ween down if the symptoms start to come back I go back up a dose.
a dermatologist prescribed prednisone starting july and tapered off on november 2007 and they disappeared for a time but would show up once in a while (even when i was on prednisone). the doctor would increase my dosage of prednisone (and thus lengthened the tapering off process), that's why i ended up taking it for about 5 months. however, i still have them.
aside from prednisone, is there any other treatment that is available for me?
My dog jumped up on the counter and got my other dogs Med bottle and ate all the pills and chewed the bottle before I saw you. Will this hurt her?mit was a very low dosage of prednisone about 7 days worth.
I have been on 60mg of prednisone a day for the last month, but my symptoms are continuing. I have allergies and still have strong symptoms despite being on the prednisone. Is this normal? Is it possible that my immune system has adapted to the prednisone and is still attacking through it? My UC flare has not abated despite the high dose of prednisone and continued use.
My doctor had me do a blood test to see if I'm eligible for Imuran.
hi just a question about steroid use. I dont have MS but was recently diagnosed with Autoimmune Encephalitis after having a brain biopsy 3 weeks ago. Several months ago I was on IVIG which really didn't help my symptoms, so now I'm going to try a trial of prednisone. My neurologist wants to start me on 60mg then slowly taper my dosage. I'm so nervous because I've been reading all the side effects to this large of a dose.
Thanks for responding to my post. I've been on Prednisone pills for about a month now. The initial dose was 30mg, which immediately made all the skin rashes go away. Based on the pathologic reports, the dermatologist assumed I had an allergic reaction. No fungus or microbes were found in the biopsy. As soon as they started tapering the Prednisone, the symptoms came back and by the time I was on 10mg, I broke out all over my body again.
You can search online for dog prednisone side effects or call your vet and discuss dosage, side effects, and what the cause might be.
three months ago i received a shot of prednisone for fire ant allergies. i have a minor case of cirrhosis, the shot was 120mg, i was weighting at 135lb and in poor health. that night i experienced the first headache of my life. it was a sharp pain lasting a second right in the middle of my brain. next couple days i had a brain fog that was also new to me. naturally i did not take the steroid pills for weaning. and now three months later, my body has changed.
Has anyone had to take prednisone during their pregnancy? If so did it harm your baby in anyway?

Also notice the white blotchy area in between the scauplae and on the upper right shoulder. That is the color of the normal skin and the darker red pigmentation is the affected area.
How long after I start taking prednisone for a gout attack should i feel marked relief in pain?

I have some prednisone left over from a spider bite last week at the emergency room. I need to know if I can cut them up for 2 of my 9 cats that have visited my home and decided to stay. please do not say go to a vet since I am 69 and on Medicare and Medicaid. this is a town with no low cost clinics. I feel so bad for them . I cannot stand it. I have tried everything in my medicine cabinet including antifungal powder,spray and liquid. Also tried topical a .
s considerably stronger than just Prednisone, even at the same dosage (as I learned a few weeks ago when we had quite a discussion here about this). So you've had much more of this than you'd thought. The side effects are pretty similar for both substances though, and Prenisone is a big component of IVSM.
Did you have bad side effects with the IV? If so, you won't necessarily have them with the oral Pred, given the much lower dosage.
From the age of 18, I have suffered from uncontrolled asthma and severe nasal allergies. I have had extensive testing that proved inconclusive. I also suffer from severe dryness, cracking of the skin (confined to the palms of my hands, soles of my feet one elbow... anywhere a callous has formed). Basically, it looks like an allergic reaction. I get periodic bouts of hive and itchiness, like it is in my veins. I have also broken out in hives like large polka-dots over my skin.
My 70 lb 12 year old golden retriever has a skin condition and was on Prednisone last year for about three weeks. She broke out with the same rash a few days ago, and (stupidly) instead of taking her to the vet, I gave her the same dosage of medicine that we had left over from the last time. I gave her 20mg in the morning, 20 in the evening, and then realized that I didn't have enough to complete the course for three weeks.
