7-Day Prednisone Treatment: Short-Term Prednisone Side Effects You NEED to Know
📌Get your "Prednisone Checklist" today:
https://prednisonepharmacist.c....om/prednisone-wellne
This video outlines the short-term side effects of prednisone, a commonly prescribed glucocorticoid for inflammation and allergic reactions. While often considered safe for brief use, prednisone can still cause significant side effects, including hormonal disruptions, immune system changes, bone metabolism issues, and mood swings. The video stresses the importance of tapering and introduces a "Prednisone Checklist" to help viewers manage and recover from side effects safely.
Key Takeaways:
1. Short-term Side Effects: Even short courses of prednisone can cause hormonal, immune, and metabolic changes—dispelling the myth that brief use is risk-free.
2. Hormonal Changes: Prednisone suppresses the body’s natural cortisol production. Abruptly stopping it can cause fatigue, dizziness, or adrenal insufficiency, making tapering essential.
3. Immune System Impact: The medication alters white blood cell counts—elevating neutrophils while lowering eosinophils and lymphocytes—potentially masking infections and increasing the risk of severe illness.
4. Bone Health Concerns: Prednisone reduces bone formation and increases bone breakdown, even with short-term use, potentially affecting long-term bone health, especially with repeated courses.
5. Mood and Metabolic Changes: Patients may experience mood swings, anxiety, blood sugar spikes, and increased triglycerides, which can lead to complications like weight gain and insulin resistance. A downloadable "Prednisone Checklist" is provided to help manage these effects.
