Can anyone advise how long it might take for Prednisolone to leave my system completely please?
I began in August 2019 on 70mg, then reduced by 10mg every 2 weeks.
Finally, I finished the final 2.5mg dosage 2 weeks ago.
So, I've been on a reducing dose for 7 months.
Thank you for any advice 🙂
Hi, I've googled it, there are lots of med sites that mention it and they all say 16.5 to 22 hours. ie within a day of last dose.
The slow reducing is to limit withdrawal effects.
They do say though that some side effects eg ' moon face' can take longer to disappear.
Thank you eyesright! I thought it would take longer to be fully out of my system than that... maybe weeks, not hours! Great news 🙂
I've also stopped Mycophenolate Mofetil which I've been told 13 weeks. I'll be glad to be free of those 2 soon! x
Always best to get qualified medical advice though. Just ring your doc.
Sorry, no idea what that other's about. This is a forum for eye ( macular) problems. There's probably a different community that would have folk who understand what you have 
Hi, thanks again. Both those medications are for my Macular Oedema and Uveitis. The other is an immune suppressant so it takes a while after it has left the body for the immune system to recover/rebuild x
