Just gone to get mum’s next box 2.5mg & she has been given gastro-resistant tablets 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Must have been a bad day at pharmacy as they had also written the wrong dose on the box!!
I will order some more asap, but how long do these take to get into the system? She’s on a split dose due to adrenals and I really don’t want to start messing unnecessarily with things as it always feels like a tightrope with her pred.
Mini moan - it’s such a hassle getting her tablets - the pharmacy need a phone call to prompt them to do up the prescription and then the queue is sooo long I never have time and end up having to drive past several days in a row to manage to sneak in. And as for the GP she’s lovely but no clue as to GCA or Adrenal stuff……She told me an adrenal crisis won’t happen quickly…..I nicely put her right and said I had seen it deteriorate in about 5 hrs from pretty normal to complete unconsciousness….
Anyway I digress - if I need to use these in an emergency how many hours before do I need to give them before what I would do with the usuals????
