What is prednisone? Why is he taking it?
Prednisone is an oral or injected steroid drug commonly used to treat pain and inflammation caused by pinched nerves and a variety of other conditions, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Hannity, 64, doesn’t particularly like the side effects of using it.
“I’ve always struggled with laryngitis at different times because of the intensity with which I talk on the radio,” he said during a June 17 national radio show, according to People magazine.
“The common approach is to take something like prednisone, which is a horrible drug, the worst drug ever, and it makes you red, makes you bloated, hungry, irritable, and you know, ravenously eat whatever food you can put in your stomach,” Hannity said. “It’s annoying. So I’m always trying to avoid it.”
