Is This Dosage Of Prednisone Intake Safe?
If you are on a decreasing dose of prednisone can you take a days worth of the 10 mg tabs all at once? Aim taking the following dose 3 10 mg tabs a day for three days. 2 tabs for three days and 1 tab for three days. Do I have to space them out or can I take each day s pills at once?
