Question

I was just prescribed MethylPREDNISolone, 4mg and did not listen to the doctor as well as I should have. I took all six pills at once on the first day after lunch instead of 2 after breakfast, lunch and dinner as prescribed. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Well, you probably will not experience any adverse effects from this, but please try to follow the dosing instructions for the rest of the time, as taking steroids over the course of the day will help to keep the blood level of the medication at an appropriate level.
