Skip the wait. Get an online Prednisone prescription within 5 minutes

Prednisone is a prescription-only corticosteroid in both Canada and the U.S. You can’t buy it over the counter. Because it impacts hormones, bone health, and other body systems, it must be prescribed by a licensed doctor. With our telehealth service, you can speak to a physician 24/7 and receive a valid Prednisone prescription within minutes, if it’s medically appropriate.

Yes, getting a Prednisone prescription through a HIPAA and PIPEDA compliant platform, such as Your Doctors Online, is legal. Telemedicine is fully recognized in both the U.S. (under the Ryan Haight Act) and Canada (via CPSO guidelines), and because Prednisone isn’t a controlled substance, licensed physicians can safely prescribe it online after a proper evaluation.

Prednisone is a potent steroid. While it is effective in treating inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, taking it for longer periods can cause severe side effects such as:

• Osteoporosis
• Weight gain
• Fluid retention
• Diabetes 
• Elevated blood sugar 
• High blood pressure
• Eye problems
• Muscle weakness

Because of these potential adverse effects, doctors generally reserve long courses for serious/chronic conditions only. If you need Prednisone in the long term, your physician will determine if it is required.

It’s generally advised to limit alcohol while on Prednisone. There is no direct chemical interaction,  but the combination can be hard on your body. Both Prednisone and alcohol can cause similar side effects, and when taken together, they may increase the risk of those effects. For instance, Prednisone and alcohol can irritate the stomach lining, and taking them together may increase your chance of having a stomach ulcer. 

Yes, you can get prednisone 5 mg online by talking to our licensed doctors. During a brief video or phone consultation, the doctor will review your symptoms, health history, and any current medications. If Prednisone 5 mg is the right dose for your medical condition, we’ll send an electronic prescription straight to your chosen pharmacy.

Prednisone’s anti-inflammatory effects begin within hours of the first dose, and many patients notice a reduction in pain and swelling within 24–48 hours of starting the medication. For acute flare-ups, meaningful symptom relief often occurs by day 1 or 2, with more pronounced improvement over the next several days . 

Avoid combining Prednisone with NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or naproxen) or alcohol, as both can worsen stomach irritation and increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Don’t receive live vaccines while on Prednisone, since your immune response is suppressed and you could develop an infection.

Prednisone isn’t addictive in the way drugs of abuse are, but your body can develop a physiological dependency. Long-term use suppresses your natural cortisol production, so stopping abruptly can lead to withdrawal-like symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and body aches. To avoid this, our doctors will taper the dose gradually, allowing your body to resume normal steroid production.

Take an online prescription for Prednisone exactly as advised by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning with breakfast to mimic your body’s natural cortisol rhythm and reduce insomnia. Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water, and take them with food to prevent stomach upset. 

Predinose dosage for gout depends onthe  severity of your condition and your current health status. However, for an acute gout attack, adults are prescribed 30 to 40 mg of Predinose per day. Reach out to our online healthcare providers to know what dose can work to relieve your symptoms. 

Prednisone (Generic Deltasone) medication belongs to the corticosteroid class of medications. It is an anti-inflammatory as well as an immunosuppressive drug that is recommended for various diseases. Discuss any medication, previous medical condition history, and if you are planning to get pregnant with your healthcare provider. 

The prednisone dosage varies between individuals depending on severity of your symptoms, your underlying health, and how you respond to treatment. A common 5-day prednisone for back pain might look like this:

• Day 1: 60 mg once daily

• Day 2: 40 mg once daily

• Day 3: 40 mg once daily

• Day 4: 20 mg once daily

• Day 5: 20 mg once daily

Always follow your physician’s exact instructions, as dosing is adjusted based on your overall health.
