Most important fact about Winpred

Winpred lowers your resistance to infections and can make them harder to treat. Winpred may also mask some of the signs of an infection, making it difficult for your doctor to diagnose the actual problem.

How should you take Winpred?

Take Winpred exactly as prescribed. Dosages are kept to an absolute minimum. If you need long-term Winpred treatment, your doctor may prescribe alternate-day therapy, in which you take the medication only every other morning. The "resting day" gives your adrenal glands a chance to produce some hormone naturally so they will not lose the ability. If you have been taking Winpred for a period of time, you will probably need an increased dosage of the medication before, during, and after any stressful situation. Always consult your doctor if you are anticipating stress and think you may need a temporary dosage increase. When stopping Winpred treatment, tapering off is better than quitting abruptly. Your doctor will probably have you decrease the dosage very gradually over a period of days or weeks. You should take Winpred with food to avoid stomach upset. If you are on alternate-day therapy or have been prescribed a single daily dose, take Winpred in the morning with breakfast (about 8 AM). If you have been prescribed several doses per day, take them at evenly spaced intervals around the clock. Patients on long-term Winpred therapy should wear or carry identification. --If you miss a dose...If you take your dose once a day, take it as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the next day, skip the one you missed. If you take several doses a day, take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember and then go back to your regular schedule. If you don't remember until your next dose, double the dose you take. If you take your dose every other day, and you remember it the same morning, take it as soon as you remember, then go back to your regular schedule. If you don't remember until the afternoon, do not take a dose until the following morning, then skip a day. --Storage instructions...

Store at room temperature.

What side effects may occur with Winpred?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Winpred. Winpred may cause euphoria, insomnia, mood changes, personality changes, psychotic behavior, or severe depression. It may worsen any existing emotional instability. At a high dosage, Winpred may cause fluid retention and high blood pressure. If this happens, you may need a low-salt diet and a potassium supplement. With prolonged Winpred treatment, eye problems may develop (e.g., a viral or fungal eye infection, cataracts, or glaucoma). If you take Winpred over the long term, the buildup of adrenal hormones in your body may cause a condition called Cushing's syndrome, marked by weight gain, a "moon-faced" appearance, thin, fragile skin, muscle weakness, brittle bones, and purplish stripe marks on the skin. Women are more vulnerable to this problem than men. Alternate-day therapy may help prevent its development.

Other potential side effects from Winpred include: Bone fractures, bruising, bulging eyes, congestive heart failure, convulsions, distended abdomen, face redness, glaucoma, headache, hives and other allergic-type reactions, increased pressure inside eyes or skull, inflamed esophagus or pancreas, irregular menstrual periods, muscle weakness or disease, osteoporosis, peptic ulcer, poor healing of wounds, stunted growth (in children), sweating, thin, fragile skin, vertigo

Why should Winpred not be prescribed

Do not take Winpred if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it.

You should not be treated with Winpred if you have a body-wide fungus infection, such as candidiasis or cryptococcosis.

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding when taking Winpred

If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Winpred should be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding only if clearly needed and only if the benefit outweighs the potential risks to the child.

Recommended Winpred dosage

Dosage is determined by the condition being treated and your response to the drug. Typical starting doses can range from 5 milligrams to 60 milligrams a day. Once you respond to the drug, your doctor will lower the dose gradually to the minimum effective amount. For treatment of acute attacks of multiple sclerosis, doses of as much as 200 milligrams per day may be given for a week, followed by 80 mg every other day for a month.

Winpred Overdosage

Long-term high doses of Winpred may produce Cushing's syndrome (see "Side Effects" section). Although no specific information is available regarding short-term overdosage, any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose of Winpred, seek medical attention immediately.
