Based on the limited evidence found in this systematic review, predniso(lo)ne may have less side-effects compared to dexamethasone in short- and long-term outcomes. Current literature shows minimal risk of side-effects in the newborn by administration of a prenatal predniso(lo)ne dose of up to 10 mg per day.
