A member asked:
I am done taking prednisone for 12 days has anyone experienced stomach pain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: As a dr., i can tell you prednisone, and steroids in general, have a definitive side effect of GI upset. It is recommended to take steroids with food to decrease this adverse effect.
