Common questions

Why do people often take prednisone in the morning?

Morning dosing is a common general practice that fits the body's natural rhythm. Follow the exact timing your prescriber gives you.

Should I take it with food?

As a general practice it's often taken with food to be gentler on the stomach. Confirm with your pharmacist or the leaflet.

What if I miss a dose?

Don't double up. Check the patient leaflet or ask your pharmacist — and never stop a course on your own, since some courses are meant to be reduced gradually.

How do I keep track of a changing dose?

A taper means the routine changes day to day, so a dated checklist or reminder app that lets you log each day is especially useful.

Stay on schedule, calmly.
