Suggest Treatment For Weakness And Rashes After Using Prednisone

how long does it take to get prednisone out of your system. I have had a bad reaction to it. Was on 12 day dose pack and threw the last 3 days of it away. I have weakness, dryness, drained of fluids, bad rash all over scalp, bad taste. No food taste good. Just wonder how to increase getting this out of my system. Thanks

Half life of prednisone is only about 3 hours...that means the amount of prednisone in the body reduces by half in 3 hours...so after 1 day,you will have only negligible amount of prednisone in your body...
