Best Answer

Generally, after taking prednisone for a short while, the condition will be resolved. Your appetite will return to normal and you won't be eating everything in sight and retaining water from eating salt. If prednisone is used for long term permanent conditions, then after a while, the effects of your condition will reappear. Depends on the disease, really and also what you mean by going "back to how you were before you began taking prednisone." If you mean, "are there permanent side effects from taking prednisone?" the answer is: long term usage and frequent short term usage of steroids will affect your bones...makes them brittle, but if you are healthy you will rebuild your bone mass. If you have Addison's disease and you go off the medication, you will have a return of symptoms.

The vet put my dog on prednisone 20mg I can not afford to take him back as asked by the vet but I'm not sure if I should be tapering him off the prednisone the way humans need to?

It depends on the size and weight of your dog. Check with your vet. You do not always have to taper off Prednisaone. If you are only taking it for 5 days it can be prescribed as a 20 mg pill once a day for 5 days. The Vet knows what he is doing, just follow his instructions!

Can you take allopurinol with metformin?

Yes. Indeed, when allopurino is prescribed for gout, it is often prescribed in combination with predisone. The reason is that while allpurinol ultimately assist the body in eliminating uric acid (the main cause of gout flares) from the body, initially allopurinol can elevate uric acid levels. As a result, prednisone is often precribed for the first 2 to 4 weeks of allpurinol treatment in order to mitigate the onset of gout flares caused by allopurino. Once the allopurino begins to stabilize body uric acid levels (usually after 2 weeks or so) the prednisone may be gradually reduced over a one week period. The reason prednisone must be gradually withdrawn is to avoid the adverse side effects that may result from immediate withdrawal. This answer own considers the use of prednisone in a "combination" gout treatment. It is unclear as to whether prednisone can or should be taken on a longer term basis (more than 1 month) in conjunction with allopurinol. As usual, consult your physician on the advisability of taking both prednisone and allopurinol together for periods greater than one month
