Prednisone.

Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication that is supposed to be taken to reduce inflammation caused by a wide variety of conditions you may be diagnosed with. It's very important to talk to your health care provider before starting the treatment and discuss all the possible aspects of it to make sure you will get the results you need. The fact you are using prednisone may interfere with some lab tests you have, so make sure you tell your doctor about taking prednisone to make sure the results of your test are interpreted in the right way. Avoid combining prednisone with any amounts of alcohol, as the interaction can cause unpleasant symptoms. Also make sure you consult your doctor before taking any other medicines along with prednisone. Make sure you mentioned any of the following ones or make a list if you are going to take some of them: ketoconazole, aspirin, seizure medications, diuretics, blood thinners, rifampin, and oral insulin or diabetes medications. There is no need to worry if you get a few mild side effects, such as sleep problems, nausea, mood changes, headache, dry skin, stomach pain, bruising, thinning skin, acne, or dizziness, as they may just mean your body needs time to adjust to the dose prescribed.
