Good morning! I am doing so well on prednisone 6mg. I can’t believe the difference after being tapered too quickly and being on only Advil.

I have latent TB and have to start a medication for that for 4 months. Apparently, this med will decrease the effects of prednisone! Ugh!

Any thoughts?

You are right the TB medication may decrease the effects of pred. Contact your doctor if your condition changes after you have started the new tablets. You may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications.

Hello,

Just wondering How you went with your 4-month treatment. I'm recently diagnosed with Latent TB and would appreciate any feedback about the medications/side effects and so on.

Thanks in advance
