First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the steroid medication prednisone is processed by the body and what side effects it causes. Researchers followed 114 adults taking prednisone for at least 3 months. They measured drug levels in the blood and tracked side effects like bone loss and infections. The goal was to better understand the drug's behavior, not to test a new treatment.
