Does Stopping Prednisone After Taking One Dosage Cause Any Side Effects?
Started to take one day of prednisone (4 10 mg tablets). Have been dealing with many health issues over the last 3 months - colon cancer, heart stents, long colds and gash in leg with 13 stitches. Am now afraid of this drug decreasing my immunity instead of helping. Will I have problems just stopping the drug after the one dose.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Well, you won't get the result of a drug that you stop. Steroids take most of a full day to begin working. They are given for a reason. If they are stopped they no longer work.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
