What is the exact dosage and administration guidelines of Methylprednisolone in case of asthma?
Patient: I am in the middle of an asthma/upper respiratory infection and was prescribed Methyliprednisolone 4mg. It is a 6 day run sarting with 6 today, 5 tomorrow, 4 the following day etc. I expected more information when it was filled and now I don t know if they expect me to take 6 of these pills tonight or 1 at a time...timed to get 6 in within 24 hours. I am leaning toward the latter. Please advise Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
