prednisone and Drug Withdrawal Symptoms

prednisone has been researched along with Drug Withdrawal Symptoms in 87 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.

Penalized Time-weighted Average Alternative Day Prednisone Dose (mg; Method 1: Penalized Using Maximum Dose Before Azathioprine)

For each participant who took azathioprine, we penalized them by taking the maximum dose of prednisone before azathioprine was added. We then applied the same method to compute the time-weighted alternative day prednisone dose from baseline, month 3, 4, 6 and every 3 months through 36 months. (NCT00294658)

Time-weighted Average Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis Weakness Score Over 3 Years

Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) test. QMG total scores range from 0 to 39 for a given visit, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The time weighted average is a calculation that provides an integrated measure of the outcome over the time of followup. The denominator that was used to compute the time-weighted average for the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score and the prednisone dose was the number of days from randomization to the last visit. Computations used the trapezoidal method where in the QMG score is multiplied by the number of days at this level from one visit to the next and added up over the entire followup experience and divided by the total number of days from randomization.
