Suggest Remedy For Irritation And Brittle Nails When On Predinisone
I am currently taking Predinisone and it seems to be making me very irritable, my nails are brittle, and I have an odd fat deposit on my trunk that just seemed to have appeared. I only have a week left. Should I contact my Dr. or just ride it out? I really can not afford to go if I do not need to. Thank you

Hello and thank you for your question. The symptoms you describe are common with prednisone. It really depends upon how uncomfortable you are whether or not you need to see your doctor. If it is not too bad then just try to make it through another week. Another option would be to call the office and ask the doctor if it is okay for you to stop the prednisone early. Good luck to you.
