A member asked:
Was prescribed prednisone 20 mg 2 tablets every day for 5 days. should i separate the dosages so its 1 pill every 12 hrs or take both pills at once??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once a day. : I would not want to negate the schedule your doctor actually prescribed (check medicine bottle), but Prednisone can be taken effectively once daily.
