A member asked:
My two year old son developed irregular and slow heart rate with in one hour of taking prednisolone is there any relation to this ?

Possibly : Corticosteroids, including prednisolone, can have the side effect of bradycardia, or a slow heart beat. There are numerous other things that can cause bradycardia, and without knowing all of the details surrounding your son's care, it is difficult to place the cause of his slow heart beat on prednisolone.

Unlikely: Steroids have no effect on heart rate.
