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 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 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 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.
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 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.
Avatar f tn Why are you on steroid eye drops? They have lots of potential side effects if used chronically.
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.
Avatar n tn His pupils were fixed and dilated, his gait was extremely wobbly and he seemed to navigate in bursts of energy. I discontinued the med and the head posture returned to normal over three days. Gait took a day or so longer and pupils started to react after five days but remain sluggish. Drug induced myasthenia gravis is described rarely in the literature. My very experienced vet says he has never seen it. Has anyone else?
776872 tn?1247938680 You just have to do the research - none of those drugs are great in my opinion when the side effects COULD possibly be lymphoma....not a fan of pharmaceutical companies at all...but what can we do we're at their mercy....because any "cures" I am convinced have been swept under the carpet because cures don't make billions of dollars every year do they?
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 m tn and do another blood test on monday and see my rhematology doctor in 2 weeks time. prednisolone has a lot of bad side effect which really *****.
Avatar f tn I will however be inquiring about an alternative method of treatment with less side effects.

Avatar m tn I had side effects with prednisalone like big round face, acne and always hungry lol im so glad im not on them now hope you get better soon!
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.
