But by chance coming across a couple of persons who were taking this synthetic corticosteroid drug called Prednisone for treating certain inflammatory diseases related to kidney viz., nephritic syndrome or a few types of cancer, I can help you answering your question.
The drug which is administered orally or through intramuscular injection has significant side effects because it suppresses the immune system and patient becomes susceptible to infections.
As is common with all glucocorticoid, its short term side effects include high blood glucose levels, particularly in patients who have diabetes mellitus.
