A member asked:
Rheumatology appt in week, bad muscle weakness, have taken 2 doses prednisone for mild bronchitis. if i stop can it still affect test results i.e. cpk?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: Just 2 doses should not have a major influence on test results.

Ok: A couple of doses of Prednisone should not affect your cpk.
