prednisone and Constipation

prednisone has been researched along with Constipation in 15 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Constipation: Infrequent or difficult evacuation of FECES. These symptoms are associated with a variety of causes, including low DIETARY FIBER intake, emotional or nervous disturbances, systemic and structural disorders, drug-induced aggravation, and infections.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure During 60° Tilt (ΔSBP)

The primary outcome, the change in systolic blood pressure during 60 degree tilt (ΔSBP), will be assessed in all study participants at baseline and at 6 weeks. (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

InterventionmmHg (Mean)
IVIg Group42.5
Placebo Group-12.3

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure During 60° Tilt (ΔSBP)

To compare the change in systolic blood pressure during 60 degree head up tilt table test after 6 and 12 weeks of IVIG (the within-patient difference in ΔSBP at 12 and 6 weeks among treated patients). (NCT01522235)

Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS) Questionnaire.

"To determine the change in autonomic symptoms (measured by the composite autonomic severity score [CASS]) measured at baseline and 6 weeks in individuals receiving IVIg.~Is a 10-point composite autonomic scoring scale of autonomic function. This scale allots 4 points for adrenergic and 3 points each for sudomotor and cardiovagal failure. Subjects with a score of 3 or less on have a mild autonomic failure, 4-6 have moderate autonomic failure and those with scores of 7 to 10 have severe failure. The minimum score possible is 3 and maximum is 10." (NCT01522235)
