what is it used for ## This tablet contains 20mgs of the Corticosteroid Prednisone, a generic for Deltasone. This is used to treat swelling and allergic reactions. Some of the most common side effects include: high blood sugar, nausea, weight gain and joint pain.

Is there a non-script replacement for Prednisone. This may sound really dumb, but we have a dog with big time allergies and the only thing that will help him is Prednisone. Problem is that the Vet wants to run $200 - $300 worth of blood test every month before they will renew the script. Needless to say, we really can't afford this. The dog is 14 years old and nothing else helps with the allergies. ## Prednisone is a corticosteroid and as such is available by prescription only, as are all the alternatives.

I was wondering if taking Prednisone can cause weight gain? If so, is it hard for that weight to come off? ## I ate an awful lot while taking prednisone but the therapy was short-term so I was able to regain my usual weight ## this is a drug that is produced by your adreaneal gland. it will cause weight gain esp. in the stomach but will go away when you stop taking it ## I have been on this drug 2 seperate times. The first time I gained over 70 lbs and I was only on this drug for a month. I was not able to lose the weight. it only started to come off slowly two years later. Now I am back on it again for a month but have only gained about 10 lbs so far. ## This is a very hard drug for your bones and your weight.Everytime I even look at prednisone I gain 20 pounds.It takes forever and alo...

why can tyou take it with alcohol ## I am assuming the drug you are referring to is Prednisone. Alcohol with enhance the side effects of almost all prescription drugs, creating worse problems for you than if you were taking the drug by itself.

liget orange in color DAN scored 5443 ## Prednisone is a steroid anti-immflammatory medication. For example, I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia. At times, I am on Prednisone to make my joints and smooth muscles stop hurting so much. It brings the swelling down. Unfortunately, I am an insulin-dependent diabetic because of the lupus. Prednisone brings my sugar level up very very high; therefore, I can no longer use it. The biggest side effect of Prednisone besides bringing your sugar level up, is a ravanous hunger! You always want to eat, can never get enough! It causes some swelling to the joints, rash, bloating. I hope this helps. ## Just adding the image, since they asked and then they can verify they have a legit pill, so no offense intened nenene! Pill Image ## Didn't do it clickable ...

dan on one side ane 5443 on the other side ## Your Dan Dan pill is a very strong muscle relaxer. Just google it for more information. They are not something to be driving a car on. They make most people very sleepy. Hope your friend gets better. ## And that information is completely INCORRECT! This is NOT a muscle relaxant of any kind and is NOT even close to that class of medications. Here's an image: Pill Image This pill IS Prednisone 20mgs, a corticosteroid used for pain and inflammation. It is also used for allergic reactions. If you are not certain what something is, you SHOULD NOT just post a guess. What if they believed you and took this? It has the potential to react adversely with many other meds and they could end up in the hospital with serious repercussions. Not to menti...
