Hello, Mariana! How are you?

You should check in with your prescriber, to be sure, but in most cases, you would just continue taking it as prescribed.

The FDA classifies the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, weight gain, acne and insomnia.

Is there anything else I can help with?

My Prednisone dosage was taken twice in one day instead of once.

Should I skip tomorrow’s dose, which would be dose #2, then continue with the third dose?
