Pulmison 20mg Tablet Cramps Side Effect

After twice being prescribed Pulmison as part of the treatment of allergic asthma I got severe muscle cramps about 3 days after stopping the course. The first course in April was for 3 days and the second in June for 5 days. The muscle cramps were so severe that I could not walk. Both calves and feet cramped up. Bending over to try and rub them meant my diaphragm went into spasm and then may back and then my neck and forearms and fingers. It was unlike a usual muscle cramp in that I was unable to release the cramp with warmth, massage or pressure and that the cramps kept moving around. This happens usually at night and lasts for a couple of days. I do have quite a magnesium rich diet so I am sure it is not a lack of magnesium and certainly didn't feel like the sort of muscle cramps one gets after or during very intensive exercise. Please can you let me know if this is a recognised side effect and what I can do to alleviate the pain (it is painful - not sore). Alternatively I would not be able to take the medication again and would need to let my doctor know.

Pulmison contains the active ingredient Prednisone, it is a steroid class medication and is often give to treat allergies as well as other medical conditions.

And yes, the cramping can be a side effect of this class of medications. Thus, you should speak with your doctor, because if it is that severe, you should probably stay away from using this medication.
