Hi my son is 5an a half yrs old he's on predcort ds 2.5ml a day an i give him twice a day instead of one time a day. will dat do him any harm?

No: This is a long acting medicine and splitting the dose just gives you one more thing to remember.It neither hurts or helps the treatment.Some find this a necessary event if the kid rejects the volume of the bigger dose.
