Methylpreddnisolone 4mg Dose Pk Dosage Mistake

Updated

I took my daily 4 mg dosages tables of Methylprednisolone by mistake all at the same time at breakfast daily. 6 the first morning, 5 the next morning etc. Will this cause the drug to be less effective

Hello, Clifton! How are you?

No, there shouldn't be any problem doing that. Sometimes, it's even better to do so, since the medication may cause insomnia, if taken at night. But you should double check with your doctor to bed certain.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, elevated blood pressure and fluid retention.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I did the same today with my first day's dose. With my cervical radiculopathy & cervical disc herniations (for which this was prescribed), I am having trouble sleeping as it is. Wondering if it's ok to simply take each day's full dose in am with breakfast instead of spacing pills out as per standard pack instructions? Advantages/disadvantages of once daily in am vs. spacing pills?
