Can Delay In The Intake Of Prednisone Cause Side Effects?
My prescription for prednisone ran out and my doctor didn t renew it until I saw him. I took my last dose on Friday. Will this cause any problems until I see the doctor and can get a new prescription on Tuesday at my appt. with him? Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Rapid withdrawal can cause adverse effects.
You have to taper slowly and abrupt cut can lead to side effects.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
