Hydrocortisone-Hysone vs Prednisolone

March 10, 1999

Hi all,

Well I tried to switch from prednisolone to Hysone and need to ask if anyone

suffering RA has done this successfully?

I believe that the conversion rate is 4 Hysone to 1 Prednisolone

which I figured seeing as I was taking 7. mg of Pred

that I would take 28 of Hysone

Well I started out on Sunday with 10mg with Breakfast,

10mg with lunch , 4mg with tea and 4 mg going to bed.

Well Sunday was fine, Monday was ok, soreness started through the night Monday

and then blew up all day Tuesday and all last night so this morning I went back

to the Prednisolone and thought I would check back with the group for any

experiences.

I take 1000 of Naprosyn daily, along with Cod Liver Oil and Losec for ulcers and

25mg Endep for sleep and depression.

Today and yesterday I had to add about 4 panadol and that only made it bearable.

My concern is, if Hysone is less side effects is it 4 times or more less side

effects ?

Any success stories please?
