Question 1

where can i get prednisolone syrup?

Accepted Answer

At the pharmacy: You will need a prescription in order to buy prednisolone in the USA. Keep in mind that taking systemic corticosteroids without the monitoring guidance of a physician could lead to many serious side effects. You should not take them regularly unless there is a specific medical indication and there are no other safer choices.

Question 2

how does prednisolone 30mg a day affect you?

Accepted Answer

Powerful hormone: Side effects from steroids are mostly related to the duration of treatment although the amount is also important. 30mg a day is a good amount. With long term use you'd be likely to see thin bones, thin skin, fragile blood vessels (easy bruising), weight gain, increased risk for diabetes mellitus, heart attack and stroke.

Question 3

please describe the medication: prednisolone?

Accepted Answer

A steroid medication: Prednisolone is a form of medication know as a steroid--the active metabolite of prednisone. Used similarly, both medications are useful in the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or asthma. In certain medical situations Prednisolone may be better absorbed than prednisone.

Question 4

why can't people stay on prednisolone for ever?

Accepted Answer

Steroid side effects: Actually, some people have to take steroids lifelong. Prednisolone is a hormone in the cortisone family, and cortisone is required for life. If the adrenal gland stops producing it, as it does in addison's disease, the patient must take something similar. For normal people, steroids have adverse effects, so it is best to take them for short  periods. Longer use can turn off adrenal production too.

Question 5

is 10mg prednisolone too much to take at one time?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Prednisolone is a liquid form of prednisone. The typical dose is 2 mg/kg per day. Since a kg is 2.2 pounds, a 10 mg dose should be appropriate for most patients.

Question 6

is it better to take prednisolone once or twice daily?

Accepted Answer

No difference.: Steroids linger in your system for days, so taking it once or twice a day achieves the same effect.

Question 7

does prednisolone keep affecting after 4 weeks stopping?

Accepted Answer

How long: If you just took a few tablets no but if you were on it for a longer term weeks or longer yea there are lingering effects that can go on for months. That is one reason why you simply don't stop taking prednisone when you have been on it for a while

Question 8

what's the difference between predisone and prednisolone?

Accepted Answer

Not much: Theyare pretty equivalent used for the same thing.Prednisone is converted to Prednisolone by the liver. I find that there are more preparations with Prednisolone dissolving tabs, syrup but again the are pretty much the same.   Most drs get used to routinely ordering one over the orher.

Question 9

can prednisolone be taken the same days as fenbendazole ?

Accepted Answer

: According to the available literature, there are no known interactions between prednisolone and fenbendazole. Therefore, it is generally safe to take these medications on the same day. However, as with any medication, it is important to follow the prescribed dosages and consult with a healthcare professional before taking any new medications or changing existing ones.

Question 10
