A: Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication which is used to treat various inflammatory conditions including temporary use for relief of allergic reactions. Side effects associated with short term use of prednisone include insomnia, stomach upset, mood changes, increased appetite, and weight gain.
This is a tough question. There is increasing evidence on the negative effects of low dose prednisone. But I do not think this is a black and white issue. Low dose prednisone can cause weight gain, increased blood pressure, worsening diabetes, osteoporosis and increase risk of heart disease. Thus, if you have one of these problems already or have other risk factors for these problems, then prednisone could make matters worse.
