Showing us the label would remove all doubts that you got the chemical names correct. And yes, I think the question would have been more appropriate in Chemistry.SE. Since it's closed here you're free to ask it there if you wish. | |

| Mar 14, 2022 at 15:52 | comment | added | Edenia | @CareyGregory But why would I do that? The question isn't about the drug. I just wanted to know how those 3 substances (not in the context of drugs) differ from one another, because I thought that two of them are somewhat interchangable due to the drug that I am taking. | |
| Mar 14, 2022 at 15:31 | comment | added | Carey Gregory Mod | @Edenia See Bryan Krause's most recent comment on your question. Even if I accept that the question isn't personal medical advice, it still lacks prior research. One helpful thing to do would be to include a photo of the drug information on the package rather than just telling us what it says. | |

I can willfully remove the second half of the question to prevent it from being misinterpreted like that. Personally, I just wanted to understand why a prednisone containing drug is called with an obscure name of a similar hormone and I formulated the question such that it'll be even more helpful. | |
| Mar 14, 2022 at 14:45 | comment | added | Edenia | First time I am actually doing this, I have to fully disagree. I have asked the difference between 3 substances that appear to be similar. They are not even drugs per se. The treatment option is just one and it is perfect for the sake of argument. The question is to establish the difference between 3 hormones and that's just it. The second half of the question is just what made me curious on the subject. I will not and can't do anything with the information gained from a potential answer to the question. | |
