A member asked:

Was prescribed prednisolone steroids. having constant infections/health problems since. what do you recommend?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Corticosteroids: These drugs interfere with immune mechanisms in several ways. Without knowing why you were given these, what your underlying immune function is and whether you are still taking these cannot recommend anything other than seeing and discussing this with the doctor who prescribed them.
