Can you take Prednisone indefinitely for COPD?
Some people don't have a choice with their health issues so they have to take prednisone for an extended period of time.

As a short-term medication, prednisone can be extremely beneficial for various condition. Long-term, however, it has some serious side effects including: Bone weakness/osteoporosis Bleeding in stomach/intestines Diabetes Low calcium Thin skin Muscle problems Nerve disease Enlarged liver Seizures Hallucination Ulcers Pancreatic inflammation Blood clots See the related link for more side effects of prednisone.
