What Are The Side Effects Of Prednisone 5mg?
I have been taking prednisone at 5mg daily since 1986 for autoimmune hepatitis, I also take immuran and the treatment is doing well to keep my liver function numbers withing normal range. I now have sensitive teeth and I m wondering if it might be caused by this long term use of prednisone. Thank you.
