I've been on 10mg Prednisone for 1.5 weeks for some kind of vascular infection I'm told.
I'm not to keen on going into surgery in two weeks after seeing this.
Hmmm

Hi iSpark

The study was over a period of months taking the steroids and the primary drug together.

Don't think a short treament for infection will be a problem.

Best wishes

Gerry
