Side effect on my daughter was muscle soreness in chest, back arms and neck. Even sore to touch.

My child has been taking this medication for asthma in addition to albuterol. I noticed when he takes the Orapred by itself he is not bouncing off the walls like he does with Albuterol. He does sweat a lot more with an increased appetitie and becoming more thirsty. Overall though I am very happy with the medication because it seems as if he becomes a lot more focused and not hyper.

My son has ADHD and asthma. When he is taking orapred for his asthma, his ADHD is just about uncontrolable. He is on medication ( focalin) for ADHD and I wonder if these two drugs together create this type of reaction in other children.

My son has been on Orapred for 2 days now to help him recover from severe asthma attack. It's much more difficult to give him the syrup than the meds with the nebulizer as the taste must be pretty awful. He's normally good with taking medicines.
