Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 1999 , He might get a little cranky from it and sleepless nights, or he might get really tired. But no long term effects from only a 3 week trial. I just added up his weight in Kilo's and he is 27.27 kilo's. The recommended therapeutic dosage for Eos's is 1-2 mg per Kilo. His max dosage should be around 53-55 mg per day. You are safe on that dosage. Don't worry about it too much.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 1999 , Three weeks isnt long... when we did prednisone, we did it for six to make sure we had given it a chance. The recommended dose is 2mg/kg. Two of my kids had negative skin testing but completely cleared up on prednisone. Remove the prednisone and the eos/inflammation came back. Started elemental formula and the eos cleared up again. Start adding foods and they came back. Have you tried FLOVENT yet? Steph [eosinophilic gastroenteritis] prednisone dosage From: garyarm@... Hi all, I am a frequent reader and infrequent poster.... My sons problems seem minimal to what many of you are experiencing and my heart goes out to all of you. My son (severe esophageal inflamation) is starting his prednisone treatment next week. We are trying to determine once and for all if his probs are due to an immune reaction (allergies) or something else. He really has no food allergy symptoms whatsoever and has tested negative to all allergy testing. He has also had several ph probes which were both negative. He is going to be taking 25 mg prednisone in a.m. and again in p.m. for 3 weeks, then he is scheduled for a scope/biopsy. is 7 years old and weighs 60 pounds. Does this sound similar to what some of you went through? What should I expect as far as side effects from the 3 week treatment? Thanks for the help, --------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
