Question: Which steriod would be better for nausea?

Methylprednisolone or TaperDex?

My husband is worried about the Prednisone as it has given nausea in the past. Think of using TaperDex for his breathing if its just as good but no nausea

Brief Answer:
Better dexamethasone then methylprednisolone about nausea side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Both methylprednisolone and dexamethasone have the side effect of nausea but methylprednisolone has it more prominent.
I think he could better try to use dexamethasone to avoid having so much nausea and have the same effect on his breathing issues.


Hope I have answered the question.
