"I've been using this medicine for about 7 months now for my kidney disease. Before this medicine, I was taking prednisone, and if you don't know... prednisone is Satan's pills!! They are absolutely terrible and have terrible side effects. So my kidney specialist wanted me to start taking this instead because it's better, and I have to agree 100%. I don't have any bad side effects like I did with the prednisone."
