| Add Prednisone review short term - breathing didorders An extreme case, taken for asthma unfortunately my body got addicted to it, and was unable to stop taking the drug without increased asthma attacks which then required ever increasing doses to get my asthma under control ending up at 120mg per day for 18 months, side effects were extreme and to numerous to list. However once again this only happens in very cases. I am currently taking a short burst worth of prednisone in increments of 10mg. 4x per day for 3 days, then 3 of those tablets 3x per day, then 2 of those tabs for 2 days then 1 tablet for 4 days. I currently have bronchitis (I am almost 54, have had chronic Asthma since my mid teens). I have been taken several Asthma meds daily for years now and over the course of these many years I have taken P ... First: Keflix, upper respiratory infection, active cough, discharge, got worse after 1 wk, the: Z-pac from e.r., still got worse, now 3rd wk., fan. Dr. put me on prednisone, steroid, finally not coughing at third of 6 days, still weak, shaky, sweats. I was put on this for asthma since my inhalers were not doing the trick. Problem is that I am very sensitive to medications and I am only on day one an I am having severe arm and leg cramping, but on the plus side I am able to breath better. Doctor now put me on a lower dose hopefully this will help with the cramping | Add Triamcinolone review I get severe Eczema. I use this only when I am having very itchy and red skin, and within a day my rash clears up. I had been afflicted with eczema since I was born (I am now 59 years old). Doctors of the day knew of no treatment that would be effective to eliminate the problem. In 1983, Dr Marvin Porter, a dermatologist in Fort Myers, Florida examined my skin, then prescribed triamcinolone ointment as a treatment. I applied the ointment to the affected area daily, after showering. Exactly as Dr Porter had predicted, in two weeks the eczema vanished, and has never recurred. I still have the jar the medicine came in. | |||
