Accepted Answer

: Using ordinary doses, the vitamin should be long out of your system.  Please see your doctor to address the remaining symptoms.    Seeing your doctor is preferable to urgent care, but you may also go to urgent care if usual MD is not available

Question 2

will 50mg prednisone cause hot flushed face 5day course taking with cefuroxime for bronchial infection is this dangerous and need visit to dr again?

Accepted Answer

Prednisone: The use of corticosteroids in bronchitis may be problematic, and is a clinical judgement call by the doctor seeing you. It can cause your flushed face and  other potential complications. Since acute bronchitis is so seldom bacterial (&gt;95% viral) am not sure why you are being treated with antibiotics either. Yes, you might want to visit with your doctor or get a second opinion from another.

Question 3

i just weaned down from prednisone and i'm off of the steroid. i never had any side effects. but now my face is extremely red and i'm very hot.

Accepted Answer

Rebound effect: Steroids are very powerful , helpful  and sometimes life saving medications . They are difficult medications with lots of side effect . When you come off them , you might have rebound effect ( the signs and symptoms of the condition you take steroid would come in more powerful form)  if you did not gradually tapper before you stooped them . Will recommend to see your pcp

Very few: Short courses of Prednisone or Medrol (methylprednisolone) are commonly used for a a variety of conditions like acute gout, poison oak, and allergic reactions.  Since the treatment is less than a week, there are few potential problems.  Some patients have a little insomnia or anxiety with the higher doses given in the first few days of the pack.

Question 9

what are side effects of taking prednisone,  nyquil, and mucinexdm at same time?

Accepted Answer

Mid mixtures: Prednisone can awaken and excite and increase appetite and elevate glucose.  Nyquil is drying and slightly sedating.  Mucinex (guaifenesin) dm is drying and slightly sedating.  Taken together the result likely will be slight sedation and decongestion. Why not set aside Mucinex (guaifenesin) when you take nyquil...?
