One thing to remember about Prednisone. Many doctors use a system of every other day in an attempt to get the body to sense the absence and try to make the corticosteroids it needs. Long term use can cause some psychological problems.

If you have to pay full price for it, ask if you can get it from a vet supply. It is much cheaper and exactly the same. My beagle was on it for 14 years. I tried getting it at Walgreens when I ran out and it cost 3 times as much in human use packaging.
