Prednisone or prednisolone. Some professionals believe prednisolone is more effective. It is 20% stronger. Example: 8mg prednisolone equals 10mg prednisone.

You lost your Prednisone what else can you use until you see your doctor?
Answer Nothing can replace prednisone. I suggest you go to your local A&E department or pharmacy, preferably with a previous prescription slip and tell them that you have lost your prednisone. They should provide you with emergency supplies. Prednisone causes adrenal suppression, therefore you will stop producing your natural steroid. If you simply stop taking prednisone, then you can go into Addisonian crisis and die. This is why you MUST go to your A&E department or book an emergency appointment with your doctor. You may also be able to get emergency supplies from your pharmacy.
