Medical Video: Prednisone: Dosing and Side Effects
Prednisone is a medication that doctors sometimes prescribe to women who want to get pregnant with treatment IVF. One of the benefits of this drug is that patients do not have to get an injection because prednisone is a drug that is ingested.
Although this drug is an effective enough option to help pregnancy, some women still need stronger drugs to help them increase their chances of pregnancy.
This drug is also prescribed for those who have other health problems such as allergies, skin diseases, lupus, and others. Prednisone belongs to the steroid class; also note the effect on the immune system, because it can weaken.
Before deciding to take this medicine, it is better to consult a doctor about medical history and other medical conditions, because some people are not even encouraged to take prednisone at all. For example, nursing mothers. Another effect that can be caused is the impact of prednisone on child growth.
Pregnant women who are still taking prednisone must immediately stop using the drug because it can cause their child's weight problems later. Also make sure your diet is right so as not to lack vitamin D or calcium intake.
