Best Answer: Prednisone has a half-life of roughly 1 to 1.5 days. This means that after 4-6 days, levels of the drug drop below natural levels of cortisol, so it no longer has an effect. There's no way to predict the chances that your blood test results are caused by prednisone-you have to wait and see what happens.
I was taking prednisone this year for about 2 months total and read it causes bone loss/high sugar. how long can I take it safely, can I take 10mg/day for 6 months to a year? Doctors are not convinced I have this but did start me on Doxy.
