I've just mistakenly taken 15mg of Pred instead of my usual 11mg. can anyone please advise whether this will have any adverse effects...should I just return to my normal dosage tomorrow?

Yes you will be fine, and can take usual tomorrow with no ill effects. You may just enjoy a bit less pain today. 😃 we've all done it, or taken then can't remember if you took. LOL

Thank you so much runrig01

I think a lot of us have taken double dose by mistake in the past or missed a dose when you really know you have a problem and will never miss a dose again, although I managed to do it twice. Just carry on with 11mg.

Thank you all for your reassurances. This forum is a Godsend!

Pumpkin, you're not the first person to have done something similar and I'm sure you won't be the last. As the others have said, you will be fine just returning to your usual dose tomorrow. It might help to keep a little daily pill container (available from the pharmacy) all set up with your planned daily doses for the week.

No - you'll be fine. in fact, you'll probably have had a better than average day!
