Judging Prednisone is a generic prescription medicine of the drug class adrenal corticosteroids, i.e. it is a cortisone drug. Its principal use is to reduce inflammation. It takes from two to four days to have the desired effect. Don't take it if you're allergic to cortisone, have TB or fungus infection, or if you have a herpes infection of the eyes, lips, or genitals. Also avoid it if you have bone disease, thyroid disease, colitis, peptic ulcer, diabetes, myasthenia gravis, liver or kidney disease, diverticulitis, glaucoma, or heart disease. The above information is extracted from the "Complete Guide to Prescription and Non-prescription Drugs", by H. Winter Griffith, M.D. If anyone is interested, I will supply the (rather lengthy) list of possible side effects. Cortisone can be a nasty drug, so be careful. -- ---- Mark E.
