Pred head strikes! I’ve just got in from work and instead of taking calcium tablets I’ve taken another dose of prednisone! Will that be a problem?

I did that one morning, but I was only on 3mg at the time, so no harm done! How much have you taken?

Might give you a slightly restless night. Depends how big a dose.

Probably not - you'll just have a better day maybe. Although you might be a bit sleepless tonight!

Get a dosette box! Then you SEE what you have already taken...

No, not at all!

You might be a bit restless tonight but other than that you’ll be OK just Take usual dose in the morning & you’ll probably have a good day!

A Pill Box helps & l only keep Pred in mine. x

You might feel especially "zoomy" for a day or so, have some sleep problems, but otherwise, you should be fine. Go back to your regular dose at your regular time when it comes up next.
