Prednisolone 5Mg
15 Answers
I've been prescribed these tablets today due to an upper respiratory infection & told to take 8 tablets (40mg) for five days. I have read the information leaflet. It says to take the tablets, preferably in the morning after breakfast but my question is, do I take the 8 all in one dose or spread over the day. The leaflet isn't clear on that. It also says I should carry a card whilst taking them but wasn't given one from the pharmacist. Thanks for any replies

If the instructions don't say to stagger the medication , tablets to be taken at one time.

Hi I take Prednisolone quite a lot and sometimes the doc will say take them several time a day and another doc will say take all first thing in morning which I tend to do. I have wondered about the card as well but I think its for people who are on them long term because you should not just stop taking them if you have been on them for a while.
Made me smile with the 320mg comment. I will have a large glass of water ready to swallow them. Thanks for the tip too saying they don't taste nice. Hoping they will help me although I don't feel ill...just have this cough, mainly in the morning but it's been there for several weeks & doctor could hear some wheezy noises when he listened to my chest & back this morning. I appreciate your posts. Thank you
