I was given 2 1/2 of these pills in the E.R. due to a swollen and sour neck and throat from an unknown infection to my tonsils. The following day I noticed a huge decrease in the pain, swelling and tenderness. Seems to have worked great for me. It was given one time, and one time only. I really had no side effects at all. Works great! A+!!

This was prescribed to reduce some swelling in my throat as I was recovering from chemo/radiation treatment for cancer of the larynx. It worked well in that respect and was easy to use, however, the side effects were tough to deal with. After 11 days, taking 4 times a day, my feet and ankles were enormous and muscle weakness in my legs. I could barely walk, couldn't step up onto a curb or c
