Question: is fludrocortisone the same as prednisone?
Answer: Fludrocortisone has the most potent sodium-retaining effects (150 times more than the potency of prednisone). Methlyprednisolone is slightly more potent than prednisone/prednisolone as an antiinflammatory, 5 mg of prednisone/prednisolone is equivalent to 4 mg of methylprednisolone.
