Prednisone 5mg/100 (Anti-inflammatory) - Pharmacy Grade

What is Prednisone

Prednisone is a synthetic glucocorticoid medication for pain relief and lowering inflammation.

In bodybuilding, Prednisone is widely used as a muscle tissue recovery agent. It’s a corticosteroid, not an anabolic steroid (like Testosterone or Trenbolone), so it’s not going to give you muscle mass. It can just help you to recover after injuries.

Prednisone is FDA-approved and included in the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. The WHO list contains only the most effective and safe medications used in clinical medicine.

Background Information About PG Prednisone

Glucocorticoids are a crucial part of the immune system feedback mechanism. These substances are responsible for reducing some aspects of the hyperactive immune system, such as inflammation.

Glucocorticoids are vital for the support and proper functioning of the cardiovascular and immune systems.

Synthetic glucocorticoids — like Prednisone — are widely used in clinical medicine as replacement therapy in cases of glucocorticoid deficiency or as an immunosuppressant.

When Do Bodybuilders Need Prednisone?

You’re most likely to get prednisone subscribed to you by a doc, not buying it for your own goals.

Prednisone is catabolic — it suppresses muscle growth and makes your gains roll back faster. It’s the opposite of what you want from anabolic steroids. However, Prednisone is essential if prescribed by your doc for a variety of conditions,

Prednisone is an effective & officially approved treatment for:

• Severe inflammation
• Rheumatologic diseases
• Joint pain (a condition that causes pain and affects joints and connective tissues)
• Osteoarthritis
• Adrenal insufficiency
• Skin rash and allergic disorders.

You might get skin rash as a side effect of anabolic steroids, or joint pain — as the result of years of lifting and hardcore workouts. If your immune system is out of balance because of cycling anabolic steroids in high doses and in prolonged cycles, prednisone is the drug that will counter it.

Prednisone Administration

Start Prednisone therapy with a 5 mg/day dosage. If 5 mg/day dosage does not provide desired results, increase the dosage to 10 mg/day.

Recommended clinical dosage range is between 5-40 mg/day.

Note that the best time to take Prednisone is in the morning before 9 AM. To avoid or decrease potential gastrointestinal discomfort, take Prednisone with food.

Prednisone Possible Side Effects

The overdose and the extended usage (more than three weeks) could lead to side effects, such as:

• Diarrhea;
• Abdominal pain;
• Increased thirst;
• Notably increased appetite (you’re likely to feel this effect even on moderate dosage);
• Acne;
• Fatigue;
• Increased blood sugar (especially in people with diabetes);
• Blurred vision;
• Insomnia.

Prednisone is a highly potent compound. Despite it not belonging to the anabolic steroids class, its steroidal nature makes following the prescription guidelines mandatory.
