How long does it take for prednisone to start working?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rapidly: One of prednisone's benefits is that in general it works rapidly like within 1-2 weeks. There are times with certain diseases such as lupus or vasculitis where it might take longer, like 3-4 weeks.
