I have antiphospholipid syndrome and 10 days ago was prescribed prednisone. how can i reduce its risk factors?

Take with food!: The long-term risks of prednisone develop only after you have been taking it chronically. In the short-term, the risks are ulcers and stomach upset. Be sure to take it with food or a glass of milk! The instructions should be on the label.
