Take Prednisone with food to minimize stomach upset. Water is the best beverage to take with it.
Maintain a consistent daily schedule. Take your dose at the same time each day for best results.
Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Some medications interact with Prednisone.
Report any unusual side effects to your doctor immediately. This includes but isn’t limited to: weight gain, mood changes, increased thirst, or skin problems.
Do not abruptly stop taking Prednisone. Your doctor will provide specific instructions for gradually reducing your dose to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, especially if you experience increased thirst.
Monitor your blood sugar regularly if you have diabetes, as Prednisone can affect blood glucose levels.
Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support your overall health while on this medication.
Regular exercise and sufficient sleep contribute to your well-being during Prednisone treatment. Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your physician to track your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
