Help with meds

Post by califgranny »

My doctor put me on prednisone.the bottle says take 4 a day for 30 then 3 for 7 2 for 7 then 1 for 7. Do I take all 4 at once?I guess I can call walgreens but I thought you all might know.Take care and have a great day.

Hi Califgranny, I believe for that taper schedule that you would take all at once. But with prednisone make sure to take it with food as it can upset your stomach. Its always a good idea to talk to your doctor or pharmacist with any medication question.

good luck with the meds

yep, take all at once, after eating.

You will feel so much better.

Good luck,
