Conclusion

Dr. Megan has created an online prednisone checklist to help reduce the risk of potential harm from taking the drug.

It helps people counteract the often severe side effects of taking prednisone.

The checklist seeks to assist those taking the drug with potential side effects often experienced, such as cognitive and psychological changes, moon face, muscle loss, metabolic issues, diabetes mellitus, vision changes, bone fractures, cardiovascular changes, and increased infections.

According to a survey of 90 patients, 89 reported experiencing these side effects.

This checklist provides guidance to manage, and help individuals keep track of their physical and mental wellbeing while taking the medication.
