May be better to spread it out depending on what you are taking it for.

Best way to take prednisone and other steroids is to take it all together, preferably in morning. Taking later in day may lead to problems with sleep.

A member 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?
