Hi All, I changed to gastro resistant pred last summer after reading your comments and advice on this wonderfully informative forum. The difference for me has been amazing particularly in the mornings, less stiffness and pain and most importantly a clearer head. The pharmacy hasn’t been able to complete my latest prescription because 1mg pred isn’t available. My GP has prescribed non coated pred to keep me going. I’m not sure what to do. I take my coated pills at night. Can I mix coated / uncoated? Do I need to change the time I take them? Has anyone else had a problem with supply?
Thank you in advance.
