Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or black, tarry stools. These could indicate serious side effects.
Report any signs of infection, such as fever, chills, or persistent cough. Prednisone can suppress your immune system, increasing infection risk.
If you notice any unusual bruising or bleeding, contact your physician. Prednisone can affect blood clotting.
Sudden weight gain, fluid retention (swelling in your face, ankles, or feet), or increased thirst and urination require immediate medical attention. These might indicate Cushing’s syndrome.
Muscle weakness, bone pain, or easy fracturing are potential side effects. Call your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
Report changes in mood, such as increased anxiety, depression, or irritability. Your doctor can help manage these changes.
Do not stop taking Prednisone abruptly. Always consult your doctor before altering your dosage or stopping treatment, to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
