Apparently there are Z Paks with antibiotics for certain conditions and then there's the one I've had, with Prednisone. The one I've had has a six day supply of Prednisone. You start with 60 milligrams the first day and reduce by 10 milligrams each day. Here's a link to a picture of a Z Pak:

They are prescribed for a variety of conditions as an initial method to alleviate a lot of different symptoms.
