My doctor has just put me on a course of a steroid called prednisolone for a recent asthma attack. I have never been keen on the idea of steroids for medical applications (especially after seeing the recent Greg Valentino documentary) but, out of interest, I read the supplied leaflet and started my course as instructed and came up with the following questions. A)it says that this stuff is used to promote cortisone. Isnt this the enzyme responsible for muscle breakdown? B)There comes with the leaflet a section on warnings including allergic reactions, drowsyness, internal bleeding, addiction, cramps, blurred vision, mood swings and so on. I know that this stuff has been prescribed and isnt one of those lame bodybuilding drugs you buy off the street but is this stuff really safe for me to use?
