Hello everyone,
I think I've been taking my medication incorrectly for a long time. I took prednisone in the summer when I had my first ever flare-up, with very good results. My symptoms improved quickly. Now, I started off with 30 mg/day (6 pills) for a few days, then 25 mg/day (5 pills) for a few days, then 20 mg/day (4 pills) for a few days, then I slowly tapered off.
I took these pills, however, distributed throughout the day.
For those of you who were prescribed prednisone in the past, did you take your pills all at once? I had my mother fulfill my new prescription for prednisone today (40 mg/day), and the pharmacist told her I was to take these pills all at once, however for the past couple of days I've been taking 40 mg/day (8 pills) in divided doses. Grrrr I just want to punch myself.
I'm just curious how all of you who have taken prednisone in the past, took the medication: all at once or in divided doses?
