A member asked:
Can deep vein thrombosis be caused by steroids like prednisone?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Depends: I have not seen a study that shows Prednisone increases the likelyhood of DVT unless it is high dose. But remember estrogen is considered a steroid as well and it has been shown to have an increase in risk of dvt.
