They are usually taken all at once, unless prescribed differently, instructions should be printed on the pack.

A 50-year-old female asked:

10mg/day prednisone (for suspected pmr). How long can I take it before the need to taper? I'd like to stop after 3 weeks. I understand it may not be long enough but steroids scare me. Could I maybe take breaks between courses if I need to go back on?

I was wondering if I have the Prednisone dose taper pack, do I have to take 1 at breakfast, 1 at lunch, etc or can I take 2 for lunch since I'm not a breakfast person? I heard as long as you take them all in a day they are supposed to that's fine?
