Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any new or worsening symptoms, such as muscle weakness, breathing difficulties, or swallowing problems. These could indicate your myasthenia gravis is worsening or you’re experiencing a side effect from the prednisone.
Report any significant side effects promptly. This includes weight gain, increased blood sugar, mood changes, insomnia, increased risk of infections, high blood pressure, stomach upset, or thinning of the skin. Your doctor can adjust your dosage or suggest alternative treatments.
Schedule a follow-up appointment as your doctor recommends. Regular blood tests monitor your response to prednisone and detect potential complications. This allows for timely intervention and adjustments to your treatment plan.
Discuss any changes in your health or medication regimen with your doctor before making adjustments to your prednisone dosage. Never stop taking prednisone abruptly without medical supervision, as this can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms.
If you have questions or concerns about prednisone, don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized guidance and support throughout your treatment.
