How can i reduce my appetite while being on prednisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prednisone hunger: One option is to reduce the dose of prednisone. In some people using the comparable medication, methylprednisolone, has less of this effect. When you do eat, eat high fiber, high water foods to fill you without as many calories.
