Effectiveness
How Prednisone Intensol Affects PatientsCorticosteroids like prednisone work by attaching to the glucocorticoid receptor in the body. This helps to reduce inflammation and keep it under control. Prednisone works quickly but has a short duration, lasting only 2-3 hours. It is a powerful drug but can be taken safely as long as a person is aware of the risks of HPA axis suppression and infection.
How Prednisone Intensol works in the bodyPrednisone is changed in the liver to its active form, prednisolone. This corticosteroid helps reduce inflammation in the body. It does this by blocking blood vessel widening, reducing the flow of white blood cells to sites of inflammation, and preventing neutrophil death. It also stops the production of arachidonic acid derivatives, and increases anti-inflammatory genes like interleukin-10. Lower doses of prednisolone reduce inflammation, while higher doses act as an immunosuppressant. High doses of prednisolone also bind to the mineralocorticoid receptor, raising sodium levels

8/30/2015 I was unable to sleep while taking this drug; I would go days without any rest. Additionally, it's apparently common knowledge that this drug can cause bone deterioration. If you're going to be taking it for a prolonged period of time, make sure to get your bone density checked regularly.

6/24/2015 I was on this drug for a long time, and it effectively decreased my libido. I was told that it would come back when I stopped taking the medication, but unfortunately that has not been the case.

5/17/2016 It's been such a relief to find something that actually helps with my chronic symptoms. This drug has made a huge difference for me, after more than a year of struggling.
4Patient Review
11/18/20083.7Patient Review
9/19/2017 I was on a high dosage of prednisone for several weeks, and while it did improve my Bell's Palsy symptoms, I experienced some very unpleasant side effects. Now that I'm tapering off the drug, I'm experiencing adrenal fatigue. In other words, the withdrawal is almost as bad as the side effects.
3.3Patient Review
1/16/2013 This medication is really great. It helps with my pain and I can walk while taking it, which is a huge plus. The only downside is that it doesn't last very long.
3Patient Review
4/28/2015 I experienced swelling in my extremities, which was painful. I also gained weight and felt pressure in my head. This drug made me very hyperactive and unable to sit still or stand for long periods of time.
3Patient Review
2/27/2009 I'm concerned about how long-term this medication is.
3Patient Review
6/22/2015 Though it can be irritating, this treatment is quite effective- especially when used on short notice.
2.3Patient Review
1/4/2016 I've found that taking this drug for three to five days when I have a flare-up of my MS symptoms provides the most benefit. The biggest issues I experience are insomnia, muscle soreness/tenderness, flushing, heartburn and water blisters; however, overall the outcome is most beneficial and I am extremely thankful for the benefits of this drug.
