A member asked:
Taking a 9 day dose of prednisone 10 mg. does this pose any health issues?

Should be fine.: A nine day course of low-dose Prednisone like this is likely to not cause any long term health issues.

Not really: Depends on the condition treated and other health problems you may have, if diabetic or hypertensive for instance, you may experience slight elevation of blood pressure or blood sugar, however this a small dose, and you should be fine, and no need for tapering so long it is less than 10 - day course of prednisone, good luck
