Question 1

will the weight gain, side effect of prednisolone , be easily reversible after i lower the dosage?

Accepted Answer

No: In today's society, it is not easy to lose the weight gained. 
Suggest you exercise a hour 3 to 4 times a week (make sure there is some weight training)  while cutting down on the carb intake.  It is not easy but not impossible to lose the weight.

Question 2

hi i'm on prednisolone 5mg 6x day and i've been feeling really weird in my chest and just not feeling good is this a side effect?

Accepted Answer

Likely: First you need not take it at this frequency. Most people can take 30 mg in one dose or 2 divided doses. It can make you feel strange but most people tend to feel good with it. I presume you are taking this for asthma which usually improve with prednisone but during the transitional phase, you may end up with more coughing as the sputum plugs start to come out. Talk to your doctor .

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Multiple sclerosis: Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the brain and spinal cord. In addition to MRI studies, cerebrospinal fluid from a lumbar puncture as well as visual and sensory nerve studies can help make the diagnosis. The tremors can certainly be a side effect of the steroid methylprednisolone.

Question 9

i will take this medicine for 3 weeks.it may cause of weight gain .how much time will be taken to reduce the side effects of omnacortil?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The weight gain is mostly from increased appetite.  Whatever you have eaten extra , you will need to cut back by the same.   Your metabolism will also favor fat instead of muscle production, thus even getting back to the same weight would still net you extra fat unless you do muscle training exercises to bulk yourself backup.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

CPK level: If CPK level is increased from myositis or muscle inflammation then its level can be decreased by treating inflammation with  antiinflammatory drugs or steroid therapy.
