Hello,

In autoimmune diseases, you have to use corticosteroids like prednisolone.

Some of side effects are:unusual tiredness, swelling ankles/feet, unusual weight gain, vision problems, easy bruising/bleeding, puffy face, unusual hair growth, mental/mood changes (such as depression, mood swings, agitation), muscle weakness/pain, thinning skin, slow wound healing, bone pain. Most important is to stop using this medication gradually because of the withdrawal symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
