Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following: severe stomach pain, vomiting, black or bloody stools, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, unexplained weight gain, swelling in your legs or ankles, severe headache, vision changes, or increased thirst/urination. These could indicate serious side effects.
Changes in Your Condition
Report any worsening of existing conditions, like diabetes or high blood pressure, to your physician. Similarly, notify your doctor if you notice new symptoms or if your current medication isn’t managing your condition effectively. Regular monitoring is key to safe prednisone use.
Medication Interactions
Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Some drugs can interact negatively with prednisone, potentially leading to adverse reactions. Transparency about your entire medication regimen is vital for your safety.
