Prednisone 5 Mg Tab Wes 5mg

Updated

My prescription states: "Take 1 tablet by mouth once daily in the morning as needed." Does this mean that I take it (I have 30 tablets) until the pain/stiffness subsides and then quit?

Hello, LeTigre! How are you?

Yes, that is what that directive would mean. It is sometimes prescribed that way, for instance my mother-in-law takes it in a similar way for her allergies/asthma, after years of dealing with it, she knows that it usually only takes 5 days of taking it to knock her symptoms out. However, if you're unsure, consult your prescriber or pharmacist.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia and acne.

Is there anything else I can help with?
