Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe side effects. This includes symptoms like severe abdominal pain, vomiting, black or bloody stools, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, blurred vision, or severe mood changes (such as unusual irritability or depression).
Schedule a doctor’s appointment if you notice any new or worsening symptoms, even if they seem minor. This might include increased thirst or urination, unexplained weight gain or loss, muscle weakness, easy bruising or bleeding, increased susceptibility to infections, skin changes (thinning, bruising, or unusual markings), or changes in appetite.
Regular monitoring is key. Your doctor should regularly check your blood pressure, blood sugar, and other vital signs to manage potential side effects. Don’t hesitate to call if you have concerns between scheduled appointments.
Report any medication interactions. Inform your physician of all medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are taking, as Prednisone can interact with other drugs.
Discuss tapering the dosage. Never abruptly stop taking Prednisone; your doctor will help create a safe plan to gradually reduce your dose to minimize withdrawal symptoms.
If you experience any unusual symptoms or have questions, contact your healthcare provider. They can provide tailored advice and support during your treatment.
