Prednisone

no, it's a steroid....only not the kind of steroid that athletes take to enhance performance

There is no set dose for an 8 pound dog; veterinarians typically prescribe within a certain range based upon the dog's symptoms and what the prednisone is being used to treat.

Prednisone is a powerful drug with the potential for serious side effects, particularly in such a small dog. If you believe your dog needs treatment with prednisone, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination.

No medication should be given to your dog unless your Vet has recommended or prescribed it. Prednisone and other steroids have undesirable side-effects, but the benefit MAY outweigh the risks in your dog's case. Best to contact your Vet with any questions about your dog's medications.

It depends on the test. On a performance enhancing drug test? Yes. On a normal narcotic drug screening, No.

Nope

The answer to that is that no-one knows for certain. Although many drugs are okay after their expiration dates, as noted by Harvard Health and the FDA's shelf-life program, many lose some efficacy, and it depends on how they are stored.

Prozac is a drug that you shouldn't jump into or out of, so if you haven't been taking it, the safest thing to do is to see a doctor and get a new prescription. If you do that, you could talk to your doctor about supplementing the new supply with the old, and your doctor (or a pharmacist) might be able to give you better advice about this drug specifically.

Call your Poison Control Hotline first. Or your available health care professional.

First, you might want to ask your pharmacist, since he or she has the most official and up-to-date list of which drugs interact with each other. That said, these medications both address severe inflammation (such as rheumatism, arthritis, etc); they are not generally prescribed together, but they do not seem to interact negatively with each other. I enclose a link to a site that discusses the side effects and interactions of zipsor (also called diclofenac) with other medications.

Yes. Frontline/Frontline Plus is a topical flea and tick preventative. Prednisone is a steroid and has many uses in veterinary medicine as it is an anti-inflammatory. Quite often it is used to control allergies in dogs, for pain relief, controlling inflammation, and in a number of other conditions.

These medications do not adversely interact with each other. However, with the use of any medication there is the risk of having a reaction. If there are any unusual side effects when using a medication prescribed by your veterinarian, let them know as soon as possible.

Prednisone, as useful as it is, can cause significant side effects if not used judiciously. Use it ONLY under the direction of your veterinarian and follow their directions explicitly.

When giving Prednisone to your dog they have to slowly be taken off of the medication. Do not abruptly stop giving this medication to your pet as it will have serious side effects.

Your medical physician will be able to provide you will high cholesterol and triglyceride information, diet, medication, and an exercise program. You may be referred to a dietician and/or a sports trainer.

My Mother was a regular user of prednisone for the control of RA inflammation and she used to have her hair coloured regularly. she stopped doing it when she got older because the colour was not good for her hair, but the prednisone was no problem.

The duration of safe prednisone use at 10 mg per day can vary depending on individual factors such as the underlying condition being treated, overall health, and any potential side effects experienced. In general, short-term use (a few days to a few weeks) is considered safe for most individuals. Prolonged use at this dosage may increase the risk of side effects such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and regularly monitor for any adverse effects.

No. "Sulfa" usually refers to sulfathiazole, which is a kind of antibiotic. Prednisone is a member of a class of medications called corticosteroids.
