A member asked:
Was on 12 day pack of prednisone, had bad reaction to 1st 60mg. so my doctor told me to take 10mg for 4 more days. is it safe to stop on the 5th day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OK to stop: If you had not previously been on Prednisone prior to you beginning this 12 day course, stopping after the 5th day would be safe. You would not need to taper. That being said, if after stopping you have any symptoms like weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or muscle aches, call your health provider.
