Your doctor will determine the correct Prednisolone 5mg dosage based on your specific condition and response to treatment. Typical dosages range from 5mg to 60mg daily, administered in divided doses or as a single dose. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Prednisolone tablets should be swallowed whole with water. Avoid crushing or chewing the tablets. Take them with food to minimize stomach upset. Consistent timing is important for maintaining consistent blood levels.
Potential side effects vary depending on dosage and duration of treatment. Common side effects include increased appetite and weight gain, mood changes (including anxiety or depression), difficulty sleeping, increased blood sugar, and increased risk of infection. More serious, though less common, side effects include osteoporosis, glaucoma, and cataracts. Inform your doctor immediately about any concerning symptoms.
