Re: HC and cream - bad reaction

[Guest guest]

Jeff, I don't know if it is any easier on the stomach, but my doc gave

me Pedipred with prednisolone liquid that is the same strength as

Medrol - 1ml = 1mg of prednisolone. I'm still taking it with food and

experiencing slight nausea the morning after taking it (I take it at

night and HC during the day), but it was formulated for kids so maybe

you would tolerate it better.

Maybe Advantan (methylprednisolone aceponate) lotion?

seems like " stripping skin " with tape increases absorption quite a bit too

Perhaps a compounding pharmacist could make a cream with

methylprednisolone acetate? just an idea.
