Debbie said, limit your salt to less than 2000 mg a day, not the steroids. She is not getting that much in the oral form.

As for salt, I would limit my salt to less than the 2000 mg a day. Bacon and a bagel is even over that amount. That is a normal diet amount 2000 mg of salt.

Too much salt, with any steroids and your Potassium goes way down. They must be equal. Eat a banana, yogurt, baked potato, etc., to up your Potassium. Talk to your doctor and have blood drawn before and after steroids.

Eddie,
Milli is a prefix meaning a thousand, which means that one milligram is one thousandth of a gram.

Therefore, there are 1,000 mg in a gram. Your answer, 1 gram of IVSM = 1000 milligrams of prednisone.

But their make-up is different. So it is not the same drug. IVSM is methylprednisolone sodium succinate, not Prednisone.
