Prednisone Instead Of Methylprednisolone???

Updated

I am travelling and my shoulder is hurting bad. Usually, my doctor prescribes Methylprednisolone dose pack every time I have this condition, but Methylprednisolone is not available in the country where I am in now. Can I take Prednisone instead and if so what dose and for how long?
