User Reviews for Prednisone

prednisone: It stopped the cough and wheezing. I was on 20mg to start and then cut back to 10 mg and then 5mg. I've not had anything work as well.

prednisone: I get that terrible cough twice a year along with my upper respiratory infection (including sinus infection), and no antibiotic worked so far (tried few different ones). My only relief was brought by Prednisone treatment. Although, I am a person who does not take medicines just for anything, I was very open to prednisone.

prednisone: I too get an asthma like cough once or twice a year following a cold. Usually I can treat with my puffers but this last attack had my husband taking me to the hospital because I couldn't breathe and the usual treatments weren't working. Prednisone has been so very helpful, I can breath again!

prednisone: I had a sinus infection and was prescribed prednisone, erythrocin and albuterol all together. After my first treatment of only antibiotics - it did not do the job. Not really sure what each of them are responsible for EXACTLY. Erythromycin is the antibiotic and albuterol is for opening air tight passageways in the lungs that caused wheezing [asmathic reaction due to the sinus infection]. The prednisone, while I don't like the idea of taking a steroid, did a good job of helping to recover. The only side effect I noticed was an increase in appetite.

prednisone: Although the thought of using a steroid is pretty iffy in my mind, prednisone is a strong anti-inflammatory drug that I have been prescribed several times after asthma attacks. It always seems to work although my asthma continues to be a problem, it certainly helps me breathe a whole lot better. I don't use my inhaler as much and I can sleep through the nights without waking up in a fit of coughing.

prednisone: Good inflammation clear up rate on each use. Eventually kept on and weaned off dropping 1 per week over several weeks. Definite facial/body hair and fluid retention/roundness of face.

prednisone: I had two straight severe asthma attacks. Prednisone combined with my puffers really made me feel a lot better. It really helped with the inflammation.

prednisone: Side effects: makes you retain water.

prednisone: I get bronchial asthma every time I get sick and although prednisone does wonders and allows you to breath, I get bad nausea so the medicine itself is wonderful but my reaction is awful. Other medicines that are helpful are Pulmicort and Zithromax, an antibiotic.

prednisone: Like the other commentators, when my asthma is really, really bad and all my other medications together are not enough, prednisone does make me better. But for me prednisone has had a bad side effect- I now have mild cataracts. So I avoid taking it as much as I can.

prednisone: I have been on and off prednisone for the last 10 years. The last few years I have been on it a lot more due to my severe, severe, severe Steroid Dependent Asthma that is not controlled with the medicines I am on including the Xolair Shots. This recent round I have been on 40mg since March 23rd until June 15th when I go back to see my Doctor.

prednisone: I have been on Prednisone for 8 months now. I have every side effect going. I am decreasing dose slowly now and am down to 15mg. This is the first time I got down this low on these. I an hoping to be completely off them in the next 3 or 4 weeks.

prednisone: I have asthma and usually twice a year I have to take prednisone. About two years ago I was in the E.R and they gave me a 10mg shot of Decadron. Well both arms went numb. Now every time I take a steroid either shot or by mouth my left arm will go numb. I am going to my allergist tomorrow and do a drug challenge for prednisone. Wish me well! I will let you know what happens.
