A member asked:
I was on a 15day (60mg for 5days, 40mg for 5days, & 20mg for 5days) dose of prednisone for hives . how long will the meds continue to treat the hives?

Hives: Once you stop the Prednisone the hives may return. The most important way to stop the hives is to find the cause. You may want to see an Allergist to determine what is causing your hives.
