Prednisone (Cortisone Taken Internally):"Cortisone is a chemical (hormone) made by the human body, and is essential for life. Cortisone or
corticosteroids, are widely used in medicine. They control allergies, inflammation, and many disease
processes. Cortisone compounds can be applied to the skin in the form of creams, or taken internally. We

Medical Indications For Use:
Prednisone and Aspirin Doesn't Prevent Miscarriages:"WASHINGTON, July 16 (UPI) -- A study of women who have had a series of miscarriages has cast doubt on the usefulness of a common treatment.
Researchers say today in The New England Journal of Medicine that dosing these pregnant women with prednisone and aspirin does not seem to prevent additional miscarriages."

Myasthenia Gravis Center:"I have been on Mestinon and prednisone since 1981. I did not tolerate Mestinon well and have been getting
weaker over the last few years. Do I need a drug holiday from Mestinon? My doctor wants to try Imuran (azathioprine).
What do the studies show? What are the side effects?"
