How long can you keep Prednisone liquid on the shelf?
Prednisone in pill form as shipped from the drug company should have a shlef life of at least 2 - 3 years to account for shipping, storage and sales time. Often pharmacies use a one year expiration date which is not the actual date from the drug company. They are trying to be safe and account for poor storage, containers left in hot cars etc., and potentially for increased sales. If stored properly, ie not in sunlight or a humid area, 2 years from prescription date should be just fine.

The side effects of prednisone include:
1) Unpredictable effect (stress, well-being, anxiety, depression, restlessness, etc.) on mood. People who are suffering from mental illness or those who are having weak mental health are at highest risk of experiencing mood swings.
2) Dizziness, vomiting and insomnia
3) Acne
4) Steroid also causes chemical imbalance in our body and changes sugar level in blood, along with change in other chemicals such as calcium, potassium, water, etc.
5) Increased hunger and weight gain
6) Weakened healing ability of body and increased susceptibility towards infections: steroids affect the healing mechanism, which leads to a slowdown in healing ability of the body.
7) Swollen breasts due to deposition of fat
8) High dosages of steroids (or even a smallest dose of steroid for those whose body/metabolism does not support steroid at all) may lead to problems related to menstrual cycles in women patients. They may experience irregularity in menstrual cycle occurrence or no menstrual cycle occurrence at all.
9) In many cases, people undergoing steroid related treatment complain about eye-related problems such as increased pressure of fluid within the eyeballs which is also known as intra-ocular fluid pressure, wearing of outer cover of the eye (the outer cover becomes thin and susceptible for various eye related infections) and some people complain about development of cataract in their eye, etc.
10) Steroid may also interfere with the other medicines that the patient is taking and cause serious trouble for him/her. For example, if a person is undergoing heart, brain or any vital organ related medication, then steroid can lead to a medical condition such as increased blood pressure. Some problems in the patient may increase due to the use of steroid and other medications at the same time. People undergoing treatment for inflammation may face stomach and digestive system related problems if they start taking steroids.

Is it safe to take steroid Prednisone with suboxone?
I was told by the clinic that I attend to received my Methadone that it IS safe to take prednisone while taking Methadone. I am currently on my second prescription of prednisone and a Z-pack antibiotic for a chest cold and this time as with the last time I was on the antibiotics, the swelling in my hands, legs and feet that I have had due to the Methadone has gone completely away!! I have been having the side effects of extreme swelling and water retention since being on methadone, to the point to where I can hardly get my body out of the bed in the mornings, my joints ache and if I sit still for long periods of time the fluid in my body from the swelling settles in my legs, feet and joints so when I go to get up it usually takes me a minute or two, literally, to stand up and be capable of walking b/c I am so sore...but the prednisone makes that all go away within 48 hours of the medicine being in my system. I began my round of the predisone 2 days ago and this morning I awakend with NO fluid on my body and have felt WONDERFUL today!! I don't know if the results of this are typical for everyone, but I know it has made a HUGE difference for me and I feel just fine, no other side effects...but the bad part about this is about 5 days AFTER I complete my round of the prednisone the fluid slowly begins to build back up in my body resulting in the terrible pain and discomfort of the fluid retention...also, I am not sure if the dose mg makes a difference in how bad the swelling becomes, I have yet to ask my doctor that question...anyway, I hope my statement helps anyone who was asking about taking the two meds together!
