Best suggestion is as it's the weekend to ring 111. They will help you and refer you to the out of hours doctors. They can advise over the phone or if they think they need to see you. The doctor will be also do you an emerging prescription for more prednisolone if necessary. Just be honest and say you made a mistake with your tablets, We are allowed to be human!? I hope and pray this helps.

You will be fine the NHS is really 24/7 and from my experience over the last weekend they will help you if you ask. I had to ask for an emergency prescription on Sunday morning as I running out of Prednisolone and would need 4 more pills to complete my dose on Monday morning before the doctors open. I rang 111 told them the situation and then the out of doctors rang me and arrange for an emergency prescription to be send to a local pharmacy. So I was sorted.
