Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / September 2005cortisone acetate VS prednisone
Does anyone know the advantage of cortisone acetate over prednisone? Yesterday I received a prescription for cortisone acetate, and when asked if it was OK to use prednisone in stead, the nurse insisted tha it had to be cortisone acetate -- nlitvi1 There is not much diffrerence between the two drugs as they are both glucocorticoids with the same mechanisms of action.
