Prednisone

Short-term side-effects of prednisone, include high blood glucose levels, especially in patients that already have diabetes mellitus or are on other medications that increase blood glucose (such as tacrolimus), and mineralocorticoid effects such as fluid retention (although it is worth noting, however, that the mineralocorticoid effects of prednisone are very minor; this is why it is not used in the management of adrenal insufficiency unless a more potent mineralocorticoid is administered concomitantly). Additional short-term side-effects include insomnia, euphoria, and, rarely, mania. Long-term side-effects include Cushing's syndrome, weight gain, osteoporosis, glaucoma, type II diabetes mellitus, and depression upon withdrawal.

Ibuprofen

there are many possible side effects of prednisolone as it is a corticosteroid.

in the short term it can cause increase in thirst and urination, increased appetite, increased panting.

in the longer term if taken in longer courses it can cause weight gain, thinning of the skin, pot belly, diabetes mellitus and iatrogenic cushings syndrome (cushings syndrome caused by excessive oral administration of prednisolone- cushings syndrome has a combination of the above symptoms) these are some of the more common side effects but there are others occasionally encountered.

if your dog has been started on prednisolone by your vet i am sure it is for a very good reason- if it is just a short course then the side effects will only be transitory and will subside when your dog stops taking the pills. if it is a medication for life please do not stop giving the tablets to your dog but discuss it with your vet. prednisolone is sometimes a very useful drug despite it having side effects. REMEMBER all drugs will have some side effects. please talk to your vet if you are worried.

"Yes". Be aware that this medication weakens your inmune system. Therefore, the VZV virus may be contracted. I was not aware of this and my Dr. didn't even ask me if I had the chickenpox before, so heads up.

yes

You could. However, you will have major side effects all of them bad.

They may not hinder weight loss, but they will cause bloating. This can appear as though weight is not being lost, as the stomach will be consistently bigger than it should be.

Prednisone is an immunosuppressant used to treat autoimmune, inflammatory, and kidney diseases. Using prednisone on animals has been tested and is said to be beneficial; it is one of the drugs often used for treatment of autoimmune diseases in dogs. Some of the most common uses of prednisone are:

* Alleviation of asthma and other allergies * Treating kidney disorders * Treatment of excessive itching * Controlling rejections during organ transplants Of course, it also comes with its side-effects:

* Abnormal thirst levels and excessive hunger * Ulcers in the digestive tract * Renal disorders * Diabetes * Pain and inflammation in the pancreas * Muscle Degeneration * Unpredictable changes in behavior As with any drug, a visit to the vet is suggested before administration.

Yes it is. When i was 6 months pregnant they had to remove my gallbladder and then i got into a car accident. and that is what the obgyn prescribed me.

Thanks, my daughter is 6 weeks pregnant, and is on hydrocodone 10's. I was worried about it being so early in the pregnancy.

Yes thats fine. One is a corticosteroid and the other is a muscle relaxant. You are likely taking the prednisone for inflammation and the robaxin (methocarbamol) is being used to relax the muscles. There are no drug interactions with this combination.

S - RPh

yes

she is cheating on you hi

symptoms?? no symptoms. For me, side effects include: moon face swollen feet lost half my hair gained 30 lbs. bi lateral knee pain that sent me to the ER twice acne awful stretch marks

It depends on how much it ate. If it ate a 5 mg tablet it probably wont do more than increase its thirst and urination for a day.. if it ate several tablets it could OD and it should be seen by a vet asap.

Can I take ibuprofen while taking prednisone

As someone who is 5 weeks away from completing my nursing degree, I will try to share everything I can that I wish someone would have told me when I started. When first starting nursing school it helps if you've had some type of experience (ER tech, CNA). Going into school, there isn't much of a requirement to know anything as the classes are provided throughout the program. It helps if you are good at math, but that is my weakest subject and I'm still doing great figuring out med math. There are coloring books out there on anatomy and physiology for nursing students. They are in with the nursing books at borders, and these would be very helpful to start memorizing anatomy. There are also books of cartoon characters with different symptoms for the disease (ie- a cartoon character of hyperthyroid would be skinny while eating alot, sweating, have a fast heart rate, high temperature, and so on). These books really help with memorization. Basically you need to read. There is ALOT of reading involved. I have not read a book for pleasure in 2 and a half years. It's worth it though. An important thing to focus on is why things cause the symptoms, instead of just trying to memorize the symptoms. It's much easier to understand that someone with hypothyroid has brittle hair, weight gain, slow pulse because of decreased circulating thyroid hormone (which translates to a high TSH level) and because of the function of the thyroid hormone of keeping metabolism up, everything in the body slows, or becomes hypo. Therefore, a decrease in blood flow = decreased pulse, decreased oxygenation = fatigue, and so on. I cannot stress enough not to focus on symptoms and more so on why those symptoms exsist. There are days I wanted to quit. If you are not in it for the patient's, then maybe you should. Nursing requires a sincere care about patient well being because even if some way you make it through nursing school, you will become burned out after a short time in the field. Nursing needs more caring professionals though. I wish you well!

Prednisone can be used for allergic disorders, and might help skin allergy, but is not used as antihistamine first aid.

Two benadryl antihistamine capsules are better choice for immediate allergic reaction.

The hospital will give benadryl as first aid for skin allergy.

If it is doing the job it is meant to be doing then yes because it lowers inflammation. The lower the inflammation the lower the SED rate.

Being both a pharmacist and a doctor, I know for a fact that these two drugs will have no side effects if taken together.

Infact, the taking of Nyquil allows for the prednisone to be absorbed more easily into the body.

Prednisone is prescribed to dogs for various reasons, and the reasons often determine the dose. However, as rule of thumb, the recommended dosages range from .1 to 3 mg per pound, up to three times a day. The lower dosages are usually given for anti-inflammatory reasons and the higher dosages to suppress immunity. The maximum dosage recommended for a 15 pound dog would be 45 mg, but is it best to check with your veterinarian before administering this or any drug.
