A member asked:

Pls help me!! i took prednisone 20mg for 4 days & i been dehydrated. mouth is so dry. had a smll iv bag & a drinkd lots of water but am still dehydted?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drink enough to pee: Twenty mg of prednisone a day for 4 days is enough to make some have emotional symptoms but not enough to hurt you. Your body makes the equivalent of 5 mg/day every day of your adult life & this is a transient boost. If you feel dry, drink enough to pee every 6 hrs and you will be fine. Contact your doc if this doesn't help.
