I was prescribed prednisone for an infection. i took one on 6/21. how long does the drug remain in your system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 24 - 48 hrs: Prednisone is not usually prescribed for infection. If it is done in that context, i suggest you do not stop it without informing your doctor.
