Avatar m tn The patient is 28 years old, was diagnosed ITP 4 years ago, had been treated with Prednisone several times, each time from several months to 1 year. The patient had an unsuccessful pregnancy one year ago. The main questions from the patient are: 1) Is it safe for the patient to get pregnant? What's the minimum platelet level requirement during pregnancy? 2) If during the pregnancy the patient needs to be treated, is Prednisone safe at a low dose?
Avatar n tn To further minimize the chance of an AIH flare-up, a pregnant woman should remain on therapy during pregnancy. At low dosages, both prednisone and azathioprine have been demonstrated to be safe for use during pregnancy. However, as a precaution, it is probably wise to discontinue using azathioprine as soon as pregnancy is discovered as some studies have found this medication to be teratogenic.
Avatar n tn you can check the liver transplant pregnancy registry (dr vincent armenti runs it) about this specifically but I think most phyisicians feel that cellcept is safe. Autoimmune hepatitis can get much worse during pregnancy and high doses of steroids could make fluid retention and HTN worse. You definitely cannot stay on that high hose of prednisone regardless as it will have enormous side affects. I would recommend the cellcept to get you down or off steroids. have you tried azathioprine?
Avatar n tn hi am 6 months pregnant. I have been taking Imuran 100mg all through my pregnancy, just last week I was put back on prednisone 10mgbecause my tests don't look too good and I have been itching the whole body.
Avatar f tn There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Prednisone is only recommended for use during pregnancy when there are no alternatives and benefit outweighs risk. The importance of liver health was first recognized in Ayurvedic medicine and medicinal plants were used in treating liver diseases in India as early as 700 BC.
Avatar n tn I had to take prednisone the entire first trimester of this pg so my body wouldn't reject the pregnancy. Hope you get some relief.
Avatar f tn i heard itching is liver problems
1150481 tn?1270490136 Prednisone is used so the body doesn't reject the embryo. It suppresses down the immune system. It is given for 10 days or 1 week at the dosage fo 10mg. I think is the lowest dosage. My RE give it to me and i think he wants to keep me on it during pregnancy to cause of my history of m/c.

Avatar f tn However, the prednisone accelerated the osteoarthritis in my knees and hips, and I am now trying to get off prednisone. And this is the real problem of prednisone. For most people with osteoarthritis in addition to whatever else, prednisone reduces healing in tissues that are inflamed (by reducing inflammation which is part of healing). This is not true for every kind of osteoarthritis..

Avatar n tn How long after I start taking prednisone for a gout attack should i feel marked relief in pain?
Avatar f tn I am wondering what kind of results has anyone had from the prednisone and how soon you may have noticed a difference. My biggest problems have been the shocking pains, tickling skin, and numbness in my hands. The numbness in my hands doesn't feel so bad as it did earlier today, usually it feels as if the circulation is being cut off or tightness. Thank you in advance!
Avatar n tn What is the effect of sudden discontinuation of steroid pill prednisone 20 mg per day tablet after taking it for 4-5 months.
471161 tn?1317190950 I was just wondering if anyone has had hair loss after being on Prednisone a while. I have been on and off of it for a year now, mostly on it, anywhere from 20mg. to 5 mg. daily. Just in the last month or so I have noticed more hair on the shower floor and in my hair brush. I don't know if it's the Lupus or the Prednisone. Maybe there's no way to tell. I was just wondering about anyone elses experience. Like I said, I have been on it a year and it's just now happening.
