Prednisone 20mg-double Dose

Updated

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.
