Prednisone effecting menstrual cycle

2018-01-27 11:30:51
Hello there! I’m currently ill with a case of bronchitis. My doctor has placed me on 60mg of prednisone to take for 5 days, as well as Biaxin 500mg for 10 days. My question is this- can the prednisone effect your menstrual cycle? I should have gotten mine 2-3 days ago, and while I’m experiencing cramps like normal I have not gotten my period yet. I read that prednisone can effect this. Can you tell me if this is true?
