Use Of Steriods And Antibiotics
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

My doctor prescribed prednisone (sp) and Zithromax (sp) to be taken when I feel a cold or flu coming on. I have used them a couple of times and it seems to help, but who knows since I might have gotten better anyway.

I would appreciate hearing from others about their experiences with the drugs. I suspect they should not be used very often.

Thanks

They ate the joints out of my best friend
She passed
Slow and steady we go
