Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Ipf What Are The Diseases In Which PREDNISOLON Medicine Can Be Used At Its Best ?

What are the diseases in which PREDNISOLON medicine can be used at its best ? - idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ipf

In fact, my mother is 62 years old recently diagnosed with IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). Currently she is on steroids MENDROL - 4 mg (1-0-1 / 2) for 20 days. Now the expert pulmonologist, the dose of the drug is of 4 mg and 8 mg doubled. Other proposed pulmonologist aziron prednisolone - 10 mg (3-0-2) for 2 weeks, and some other pills and support. Please inform the way for us to continue with a higher dose of methylprednisolone, or switching to prednisolone.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Regards,

Prednisolone is widely used in the treatment of COPD, asthma, etc. emphyzema the patient breathing helps mainly used during an infection of the lungs.

I speak both as a nurse and family. My mother died six years ago with COPD who cared for her until her death.

Mendrol you mention, my mother was prescribed, but identity does not seem to agree is not as good as prednisolone. What I mean is that they no longer infections as quickly as in prednisolone /

Your mother should talk with the doctor, the increase in their Mendrol, ask what am thinking about a course of prednisolone offers. Your doctor may decide it is better Mendrol, in which case you say that there was a second opinion requested page.

I do not know if you are in the United Kingdom or the United States, but if your mother always, they have the best you tretment your doctor, then patients will feel charter says it is entitled to hear his doctor's advice and switch the feeling when it tries to sugar beet.

Best wishes

I think you mean steroid prednisone for asthma at lower doses (or respiratory diseases and lung cancer treatment) to.
I am 40 years old and have had asthma for 30 years, never once taking prednisone, as evidenced by the fact that my mother thought that I (a man to be a steroid, if you had applied for the equivalence of field if they too long. They are the doctors who prescribed in limited quantities.
Now, after years of thinking I was dying from lack of air in one night, I decided to tr, and now I want to do before I TKE is if I lose my breath and I start with an hour and takes days and I'm not a man a woman.
I say give it a shot, they have to lose?

The only one other steroid, is not very different from methylprednisolone. more or less the same. Do what the doc thinks is best
