Dr. Zhang Nan
Prednisone acetate is a corticosteroid medication. Its potential adverse effects include avascular necrosis of the femoral head and elevated blood glucose levels. In severe cases, it may also lead to corticosteroid-dependent obesity. This drug may be considered for patients with severe asthma, but only under strict medical supervision, and the dosage should be gradually tapered as directed by a physician.
