It works very fast for me. But, like all other steroids, it stops working as soon as I stop it.Right now I'm taking weekly pulses of 40 mg until things stabilize. I take micophenolate to make my remissions last, but sometimes I have dips that I can only control with dex. As all other steroids side effects can be terrible.
Not what you're looking for?
