A member asked:
Will the weight gain, side effect of prednisolone , be easily reversible after i lower the dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
