What are the risks of catching infections?
Prednisone affects your immune system, making it less effective in fighting off illness and infection. The higher the dose you take, the greater the risk. You should avoid contact with anyone else who is ill and never have a live vaccination. You are also more at risk from fungal infections, some embarrassing like thrush, others more serious.
