I have to start this in the morning, is this a lot at once I have to do this 2x a day for a bad cough. ( I have had it for 3 weeks) Also should I take a lower mg closer to time to get off it or what. I'm scarf to take this I took it before and it felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest and had night sweats. Any one take this much a day? ## Hi Angie, I don't know if your cough is related to Asthma in any way, but for someone who is 12 years old and up, the dose for asthma is 40 mg orally every 12 hours. That being said, I don't think it is unsafe to be taking this much, however if it has made you feel ill in the past you may want to find an alternative.

I am taking This medication for a sore inflammation area in my chest that I have seen a physical therapist for. He told me to work out to stretch the chest but to do push ups and everything still. My other doctor gave me the steroid pill to get rid of this inflammation. With this medication are you supposed to rest it or use the muscle more? I still have inflammation in that spot. This is Day 2 of the pill so after todayI have three more days of this medication. What do you think or recommend. Thank you for your time. ## Dan, It is likely that your physical therapist has instructed you to stretch the effected area so that you can get blood to fill the muscles and effectively "flush out" some of the infection. Resistance trainers do something similar to get rid of the lactic acid...

Cant sleep while on this medication! Can I take a sleeping aid? Tyenol PM or advil PM ## Can't sleep on prednisone what can I take yo)to. help me ## I would recommend staying away from the Advil/Ibuprofen, because it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and taking it with the Prednisone can seriously increase the risk of developing stomach problems, such as bleeding ulcers. There are, however, no interactions listed between taking the Prednisone, with the Tylenol PM, which contains Acetaminophen and Diphenhydramine, but you may want to double check that with your pharmacist to be certain. Are there any other questions or comments?

I had a allergic reaction to some makeup or cream and had very swollen and red eyelids/skin. Was prescribed 8 pills of 20 mg prednisone to take 2x/day for 4 days. I look so much better after taking the 3 pills, can I just stop now or is it like an anibotic and I need to finish the course of the pills? Kind of want to hold on to the rest in case I have the issue again, which is likely! ## You should take the full prescribed amount as directed by your doctor, then consult them if you experience a similar issue and need more of this medication. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nausea, mood changes, insomnia, and weight changes. Were you prescribed any other medications?

Hey, I just got prescribed prednisone 20 mg for a horrible allergy reaction to pet dander and (normal summer reactions). I was wondering if it was suitable to take my first dose tonight? 8pm! I have to be up early tmrw and need to sleep, but also in a lot of discomfort. Any advice would be much appreciated. I also have antihistamines prescribed as well. Could i just double up on them, then take the pred in the morning? Cheers ## Hello, Jon! How are you? It usually takes a few doses for most people to start experiencing side effects. I know the FDA reports that this can cause insomnia, nervousness, irritability and acne, but there's not much chance of it occurring after just one dose, so you should still be able to sleep. What antihistamine was prescribed? I'm sorry, but I need m...

Hi. I have been prescribed prednisone 20 mg. On the bottle it says take 3 tablets once daily. Does this mean i take 3 at 1 time? ## Hello, Tiffany! How are you? Yes and it is a typical way for this medication to be prescribed, in order to give you a high dose to treat the relevant condition. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this steroid as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, nervousness and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## 3tablet once daily ?? what does it mean ?? ## Crystal... I was prescribed Prednisone,my 1st day I took 3 pills 1 in the morning 1 at lunch 1 at night.

Hi. I just want to ask if a person has given 2 tablets of prednisone 20mg instead of 1 tab in just a day, does it mean, he/she needs to skip the another dose for tomorrow? ## Hello, Pranky! How are you? Not necessarily, they should follow their doctor's instructions. Sometimes a bolus of a larger dose is given for the first dose, then it is lowered afterwards for a week, or so. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I read my label wrong , it was supposed to be 4 10mg tablets for 3 days. I took 4 10 mg tables 3 times today, so a total of 12 pills. What should I do?? Should I now skip the next 2 days? Is this going to hurt me.

I have a terrible rash on my neck, chest and spreading to my breasts. I am on 20 mg. of prednisone (reduced from 30 mg) and have been for almost a month. Could this rash be from the prednisone?? ## Hi Georgia sanders, Based on my research, "rash" is listed as one of the rare side effects of Prednisone. I recommend speaking with your doctor about this if possible, just so the symptoms don't get any worse. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Prednisone Details I hope this helps! ## Is there any risk of side effects if a child only took 20 milligrams of prednisone for one day, then totally stopped?

I was prescribed 20 mg of prednisone for my allergies. This is my first day with the pill because yesterday I got a steroid shot . But since yesterday I can't sleep and my stomach hurts. I need to take this because I can't take any antihistamine because I'm going to be tested for allergy. But I feel table ! I feel my right hand week and pressure in my chest. Can I take the pill every other day and take half prescribed? Cut the 20mg in half and take 10mg? Because it says for 5 days. ## Hello, Cristy! How are you? Those can be normal side effects of this medication, which the FDA classifies as a steroid. Other side effects may possibly include acne, weight changes and nervousness. However, you shouldn't adjust your dosing, unless your doctor approves. When will you be havi...

I was prescribed 20 mg of prednisone for an abnormal lump on my leg, i wasn't aware of any of the terrible side affects and took it the first day feeling quite moody and pretty much lost sense of time, when i went to bed my legs began to ache terribly and my heart wouldn't stop pounding. I didn't sleep much at all and when i did i experienced terrible and odd nightmares. I am supposed to take it for 5 days once a day, but i refuse to take anymore because i simply can't handle the side effects. I haven't taken my second dose... i feel okay since i haven't taken anymore but am afraid since i have read and heard how dangerous it is to suddenly stop taking a medication. Will only one days dosage affect me? Please help....... ## Hello, Mrs. Parsons! How are you doing?...

I take 60mg of norco daily, 20 mg every 5-6 hours, for severe rheumatoid arthritis pain. Can I also take 10 mg prednisone Once a day with the norco just for 3-5 days to reduce very bad swelling in wrists hands ganglia? ## Hello, Chris! How are you? Yes, as long as your doctor approves. These medications are often prescribed together to treat pain and swelling. The FDA warns that Norco is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

how long can you store these in your medicine closet before it is not safe to take them? ## Hello, Basil! How are you? If you are asking about a bathroom medicine chest, they should not be stored there, at all. They should be stored somewhere dark, cool and dry, like a kitchen cabinet or other closet that is away from heat, light and moisture. And they should not be kept past the expiration date on the bottle. All tablets eventually degrade and lost effectiveness. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Will prednisone help my sinus post nasel driping down my throat? ## In reading other posts it states it's okay to take medications past their expiration date. That some have a shelf life of over 15 years so why the change of heart to this response? ## Why do you keep saying that t...

I have been given Pulmison 20 mg tablets to clear up blocked Eustscheon tubes, as I have lost some of my hearing due to acute sinus. I started getting heart palpitations since taking the tablets which is quite severe for several hours a day. Should I discontinue taking them? ## Hi, Rosemary Ann! How are you? Pulmison contains the active ingredient Prednisone, which is a steroid class medication and it can cause palpitations as a side effect in some people that take it. Learn more Pulmison details here. Have you consulted your doctor? In many cases, palpitations are benign and just annoying, but if they involve tachycardia or other irregularities, they should be medically checked out.

I started predizone 20 mg yesterday. Took 3 tabs in the early a m . Directions say 3 tabs for 3 days, then 2 tabs for 4 days ,then 1 tab for 4 days. I felt for a lack of a word moody all day yesterday. And had insomnia last nite. Is there a better time to take the medication ## Hi, Itchypoo! Sorry about the side effects. You may do better off splitting them up throughout the day, that can sometimes help mitigate the side effects. You'd need to check with your doctor to make sure that it's okay for you to do so, but in most cases it is. Learn more Prednisone details here. It is a steroid class medication, so regardless, you'll most likely still experience some side effects, such as the insomnia and some anxiety. Is there anything else I can help with?
