How and When to Use Prednisone? (Deltasone, Orasone, Adasone) - For patients
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 04. 2019
- This is an informational overview video on Prednisone. Prednisone is an inactive systemic corticosteroid, that is metabolized by the liver in active metabolite prednisolone.
Prednisone has high glucocorticoid proporties, which gives it effects in the regulation of your Immune system and metabole activities. It works much like your bodies own Cortisol.
Prednisone has low mineralocorticoid proporties, which give it effects in managing your electrolyte and fluid balances. Those effects work much like your bodies own Aldosterone.
Prednisone is available under several brandnames: Deltasone, Liquid Pred, Orasone, and Adasone.
In this video I will explain when to use Prednisone, how to use prednisone, what dosage to use of prednisone, what are the side effects of prednisone, and is prednisone safe to use when pregnant or while breastfeeding.
In addition I will also explain if prednisone is safe to use while driving, and if prednisone is safe to use with alcohol.
This video is meant for patients and layman. I also made a more in depth video suitable for medical students and medical professionals. You can find a link to that video here:

Sir, how does prednisone really like interact in the body of a patient with a case rheumatic heart disease.

I was given by my oncology doctor a Prednisone during treatment of chemotherapy. Regarding on effects i used to sleep a lot and constant pain and non stop mild body shaking. But I have been on and off of Prednisone. My dose before was 50 and now 5mg to 10mg... But my question is should I take Prednisone for life? I was diagnosed both A.L.L and Hypothyroidism.... Had treatment 5 years ago.

I have psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. My rheumatologist prescribed me 10 mg once a day in the morning. It makes me look very bloated, hair loss and can give me an attitude problem. I usually take it my biologics aren't working and I'm in between injection change. It really helps with my pain. But once I stop taking it, I have a huge breakout of psoriasis. I only take it when I really need it. Not every single day like my doctor wants me to.
Im having the shock treatment to treat fibromyalgia flare up and osteoarthritis. 30mg a day for 7 days. Ive had an array of side effects.... Appetite is OTT! Insomnia increased significantly. As a fibromyalgia sufferer insomnia is part of the condition too. But these tablets have made it much worse. Ive slept lightly last night and got two hours sleep. I also work two shifts a day. I feel like i could sleep for a year right now but insomnia says no. Feeling a little delerium from lack of sleep. However. Ive notice significant changes in my nuropathic pain. The pain has gone. Poof, gone! Inflammation in my hands and sore body areas are more comfortable. I've got one more dose of this later on tonight. Then ive got to deal with the return of all the pain when these wear off.... I for sure wont be having these regularly but i would consider them again, if need be.
I recent tested positive for ANA blood test and I present symptomatic. Burning tingling redness in the feet stiff joints and severe fatigue. My doctor has started me on a low dose of prednisone at 7.5 my a day. I've only been on it for about 3 days and I'm not noticing any changes. Can I take longer then three days for prednisone to work?
Hi Edward,
I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I can't answer your question, as it is really specific. You can always contact your G.P. or your treating physician. They can provide you with personal answers.

How to quit Prednisone if I had used them for long time
Hi? I am considering to take prednisone again as I stopped it a couple of months ago. My last take was 10mg dosage, will it be good to take 10mg? Or I need to start with 5mg? What would be the possible affects if I take it not gradually? Or is it okay to take it.?
Thanks...
Hi, I can not really answer this question. It depends mostly on the reason why you need prednisone. I would recommend you to ask your doctor for advice!
Is there anyone taking Deltasone 20mg 3tablets at same time in the morning?
It feels too much to me?

Hi Dimpho,
Usually it is best to follow the advice of you prescribing physician.
It's really informative.Please I have a sick in penis will it be possible to take this drug.
I went to an ENT Specialist bc I had fluid on my ear per my PCP. The ENT Specialist said that my nose was inflamed, which caused my Eustachian tubes to swell. I was given a 12 day supply, however, I only took the Prednisone for 6 days. The Prednisone made my anxiety worse, so the ENT Specialist said it was ok to abruptly stop taking the Prednisone. Well according to my PCP’s nurse, I was suppose to taper off of them, not just stop. Now, I’m having headaches, I wake up feeling like I’ve been drugged…I feel like I have a sinus infection, my ears feel full & when I mention this to the ENT doctor, she says I’m fine. Does Prednisone make your sinus worse? Is this all normal?
Never go back to that ENT if they don't know how to administer prednisone. Its a dangerous drug. I'm trying to get off of 5mg and it is excruciating. I hope you have recovered.
Any difference between predisone and prednisolone as far as effect and side effects?
Hi bigpardner,
Great question. Prednisone itself is ineffective and is converted by the liver to its active form "prednisolone". Therefore there are not any significant differences.
@@howtomedicate Would prednisolone then be better for the liver?
@@bigpardner I thought one was used for children.

Did you spread you dose out or took them all at the same time?
@@prettymelanin4870 i took few times its only for once year..many have gastric issue after that med
Treatment starts with a high dose of prednisone. When symptoms improve, the dosage is lowered , why?

Hi for a long time I have been having itchey skin especially worse at night. I met my doctor today and he prescribed me Prednisolone 5mg tablets take eight daily for Five Days. Can I ask do I take all 8 tablets straight away
Prednisone is too dangerous for just itchy skin. You have a lazy doctor.
@@Thinkforyourselves64 can I why my doctor is lazy? U also advised this is dangerous can I ask why
Is 20 mg a high dose
Will i get side effects from a 5 day x30mg dose of prednisolone
Hi Lesley,
Good question. The answer is: you might. Not every user will experience side-effects, but there is a chance you will. 😅
How r u
Does prednisone work based on your genetic makeup?
Some genes are responsible for how your body processes medications. Pharmacogenomic tests look for changes or variants in these genes that may determine whether a medication could be an effective treatment for you or whether you could have side effects to a specific medication.
Can't tell you about prednisone specifically.
My dog takes this. Is this the same thing?
Yes. Exactly the same.
My dog and I both take it. Different amounts, for different diseases.
Here's the dumb part: my prescription is cheaper than my dog's, even though his is a lower dose. 🥴

Vanessa- I was prescribed this for my ears being clogged. I started taking them a couple days ago. So far everything good
@@gabrielantunezjr5994 hello it’s been two weeks, I was only given this medication from the 9th to the 19th so 10days. I didn’t feel any better when I was on it so on the 15th I was given antibiotics for my ear infection, still not feeling better so last night actually I was given a second round of antibiotics. Hopefully this does the trick. The prednisone was given for inflammation of my allergies but it really didn’t help just made me anxious being that it’s a steroid with tons of side effects.
@@vanessahernandez3712 well hopefully the antibiotics can help you. I was very hesitant to take them but my ears being clogged was getting to annoying.

I'm currently in shock treatment because of my eczema. My derma prescribed with this dosage and time schedule 3 tablets for 3 times days, for 3 days. Next, is 2 tablets for 3 times a day, for 2 days. And lasty, 1 tablet for 3 times a days, for 2 days. I hope my body can tolerate the minor common side effects.
how did it workout for u?
@@thepsychonaut8212 After the shock therapy of prednisone my eczema flares greatly reduce, but there is still few left and little new small flares. So the derma gave me new corticosteroid medicine which is the Ebastine methasone for one 1 week following with another 1 week of antihistamine which really works. My skin is free from eczema for almost 1 month, but I was such a carefree so it was back again. So I suggest to you based on my experience, after the successful treatment of steroids and antihistamines, watch your diet and keep your skin moisturize.
