What Is The Exact Dosage And Administration Guidelines Of Methylprednisolone In Case Of Asthma?
I am in the middle of an asthma/upper respiratory infection and was prescribed Methyliprednisolone 4mg. It is a 6 day run sarting with 6 today, 5 tomorrow, 4 the following day etc. I expected more information when it was filled and now I don t know if they expect me to take 6 of these pills tonight or 1 at a time...timed to get 6 in within 24 hours. I am leaning toward the latter. Please advise

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The dosage of Methylprednisolone prescribed by the doctor is the right for your health problem.
You are supposed to take all the daily tablets at the same time, not 1 at a time.
It's better to take the tablets in the morning, after breakfast.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
