A member asked:
I am on prednisone for an eye infection. it's raised my bloodpressure a bit high. will this side effect go away after i finish my dosages?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prednisone is unlikely to raise BP, and certainly prednisone eye drops won't do it. More likely your BP is elevated primarily from stress or anxiety about the infection. Either way, it should return to previous levels when treatment is done and your eye is better. Good luck.
