Prednisone is a commonly used medication for its antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive action. On this episode I discuss prednisone pharmacology, ADRs, and much more. In the episode, I discuss how prednisone affects the HPA system in the body. Cortisol production can be greatly impacted by long term use of prednisone. GI adverse effects can be problematic with oral prednisone which is why we often give this medication with food or milk. Hyperglycemia is a complication from the use of prednisone. I've commonly seen blood sugar spike by 50-100+ mg/dL due to this medication. Osteoporosis is a long term risk with the use of prednisone. Prednisone can also impact the benefits of vaccination. I discuss this in greater depth in the drug interactions portion of the podcast.
