Hi Whit,

I take 8 a day for 5 days whenever I have a flare up, usually every 6-8 weeks and also with antibiotics. It works well.

I try to take them before midday, so I can get a decent night’s sleep 😉

Hi I've been on courses of pred for years usually in the summer for my asthma Sometimes need 8 a day for 5 days depending on the severity of my condition.If you mean u are on a reducing dose it means they are weaning u off.The docs seem to say that if you have been on them more than usual u need to reduce the dose instead of just stopping abruptly as can cause complications after long term just stopping x
