Hi Kimberlie, the half-life is pretty short (2-4 hours) which means it leaves your body pretty quickly. You should only have trace levels after 24-48 hours depending on the dose.

I took 60mg for 4 days with no tapering…I heard it is the amount of days taken is how long before it is completely eliminated from the system. Is this true? Thanks so much!

Hi Harriet,
Thanks for sharing your experience with a no-taper, short burst steroid (prednisone) treatement. It’s good to hear you didn’t have to expose your body to any additional prednisone for longer than you needed to. Kudos to your ER

Absolutely no problems.
