A member asked:
I took my first dose of prednisone 60 mg today. how long does it take for esr and crp levels to change?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on how high they are to begin with, what the disorder is that you are treating, how often you will be taking the prednisone and at what dose. The best doctor to answer this question is the doctor who is treating you since that doctor would know all of these details. Best of luck to you!
