A question about Prednisone for the women
I feel kinda silly asking this, but anyways...I've been on Prednisone for about a month now and my period is a little over a week late. Could this be an effect of the Prednisone?

Re: A question about Prednisone for the women
Jenni,
Prednisone is an immune system suppressant and can affect the hormones in a woman's system. This can alter a period in a number of ways...late, missed for a couple of months and/or minor bleeding in some cases.
Prednisone is a drug that should be used sparingly because of its many side effects. Generally with MS, every time it is used makes it less effective for the next application.

Hope you don't mind me responding to this question but I asked my wife who is a nurse.JenniMe123 wrote:I feel kinda silly asking this, but anyways...I've been on Prednisone for about a month now and my period is a little over a week late. Could this be an effect of the Prednisone?
