My doctor told me to predisone at 4 pm, why such a specific time?

Not sure exactly: But we have specific patterns of steroid release through out the day and, depending on your pathology, your doc may be wanting to tweak your steroid levels at a specific time to help cover the troughs of steroid levels. This is probably dependent and specific to you and what you were given the steroid for.
