I had pneumonia and the pack really helped. No side effects. Much lower cost than other things prescribed.
worked well for me
During an RA flare up I can be totally incapacitated unable to move without assistance and the pain is intollerable and cannot be controlled with prescription drugs. After the first day dose (24 mg.) I am able to function and the pain is greatly reduced. The only problem with use of this drug on a more regular basis is weight gain. I am using methylprednisolone 4 mg dospak 21's. Dosage decreases daily.

40mg (8 tables of 5mg) taken for 5 days then 7 tablets taken for 3 days, 6 for 3 days, 5 for three days until taking one talbe for three days then stopping.
The importance of not missing or suddenly stopping this treatment was stressed by our doctor, as I beleive this can cause serious side-effects.
Generally 20mg for 3 days then dropping 5mg per day every 3 days. Once at 5mg the dose is halved every three days. It should never be stopped suddenly.
I was prescribed 30mg of prednisolone (6 tablets of 5mg each) every morning for 4 mornings. However, after taking 30mg for 2 mornings, the swelling in the face reduced by about 90%. On the 3rd morning, I did not take prednisolone but went back to see the doctor as I was afraid of side effects. The doctor agreed that it was ok to stop taking the medication.
I take this medicine on and off, usually for a duration of about two months on a very low dosage.
As soon as the prickly heat starts I had to take 6 tablets daily for a maximun of 10 days I have never had to take the tablets for more than 3 consecutive days
