For Allergic Rhinitis: “Developed a bad cold and went urgent care. The Urgent Care NP prescribed Amoxicillin & teslon perles for me. Teslon perles worked great to quiet my cough at night, but 7 days after going to Urgent Care, I had to go back because I felt worse: horrible sinus headache, sinus/cheek pain, nasal passages horribly swollen, and blowing my nose constantly. Went back to Urgent Care and the NP RXd a stronger antibiotic & a Medrol dose pak for me. I took all 6 pills of day one of the pak, and after a 5 hr nap, my sinus headache was gone & the pressure in my cheeks was greatly reduced–all by the end of day one on the pak. By the end of my second day on the pak, I felt better & my sinus symptoms were greatly reduced. Medrol dose pak has always worked very well for me. (Plus, it always makes my arthritis feel better!) Con of Med dose pak? As I am weaning off of it, my torso will feel sun burned, sore, & sensitive to touch …but I am willing to go through this side effect to get rid of a painful sinus infection.”

For Inflammatory Conditions: “Have taken the one week dosepak a few times over the last few years for sharp lower back pain. I have never had any side effects of any kind. This medication eliminates 90% of pain within two days and is completely gone by day 4. I call them miracle pills!”

For Inflammatory Conditions: “This stuff worked awesome for me. Bum shoulders, I could barely wash my opposite armpit or put on a shirt. Couldn’t pick up a gallon of milk. Within 48 hours after starting the dose pack, the pain was 90% gone. A few weeks later pain came back worse than ever. So today I started another dose pack. Within two hours pain was again almost gone.”

For Asthma, acute: “I was prescribed a six day dose pack for my respiratory infection and while it did it’s job with my lungs – the knee pain (diagnosed as arthritis – prescribed Duexis) I’ve been having for almost a year disappeared. I can run up and down the steps without issue now whereas before I’ve slowly worked back up to a regular walk but very slow when ascending or descending. I’m asking my doctor about this long term because I feel like I’ve got my life back.”
