Could i decrease recovery time after working out by taking prednisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Corticosteroids are catabolic drugs, which means they enhance tissue breakdown. Your pain might be eased, but you would be doing yourself harm for your exercise goals for whatever sporting activities you engage in.
