Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!
I really appreciate your concern. Prednisone are eliminated from kidney the body after 20-25 hours of last dose. The side effects need bit longer time to subside most probably within a week of discontinuation of prednisone.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
