Prednisolone
It is a concentrated form of Prednisone used for eye drops. My eye problems continue.
In case you don't know, it mimics cortisol, a stress hormone.
It brings depression and conflicts with other medications. My PCP told me
that when it goes into the eyes it does not go anywhere else in the body. I quit her. That must be propaganda from the maker-seller of the stuff.
My blood pressure goes up. Muscles may not respond. My physical condition erodes.
There are a lot of smart people here. One or more of you should create a substitute for this carp. -

How big a dose? I’ve been on 5mg a day for 10 years. I don’t have a bad response to it but I know plenty of transplant patients who do. Mostly puffy face, etc.
(I take prednisone, but they’re equivalent - prednisone is converted gram-for-gram into prednisolone by the liver)
