prednisone withdrawal

prednisone withdrawal

i was given a steroid shot at the hospital for imflamation of my uvula in my throat, they also sent me home with a script for prednisone 50 mg once a day for 4 days, i was wondering if i decide not to take the prednisone pills if i would have any withdrawal or adverse affects after the one shot in the hospital,thank you

Long term steroid use requires a gradual taper, but you should be fine since you only received one dose. However you should take the prednisone if the doctor instructed you to do so.
