Ive been prescribed prednisone for a muscle spams. 4 -3days 3 -3days 2 -3days 1 -3days. i dont like the side effects; my spasm is better. i just took the 1st day of 3 pills can i safely take 2 then 1 the next day and be done?

Can ask prescriber: Usually, a person who is on corticosteroids rarely, such as if this case was not more than a once per year occurrence, then a 1-5 day course of steroids like prednisone or prednisolone usually does not have to be tapered. That means a person can stop after one day if needing to stop. However, each patient is different and this is a public non-advice form, so one must discuss with the prescriber.
