Prednisone typically comes in various forms, affecting packaging. Oral tablets are usually found in blister packs containing 10, 30, or 100 tablets, often nested within a cardboard box. The box clearly displays the drug’s name, strength (in milligrams), quantity, and manufacturer’s information. Each blister pack is individually sealed for protection and tamper evidence.
Tablet Packaging Details
Tablet size and shape vary by manufacturer and dosage. Always check the labeling for specific details. The tablets themselves may have identifying markings or logos, providing another verification point.
Important: Always examine the packaging for any signs of damage or tampering before use. Report any concerns to your pharmacist or doctor. Store Prednisone as directed on the label, usually in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Liquid and Other Formulations
Liquid Prednisone, if available, is often packaged in amber glass bottles to protect from light degradation. The labeling clearly shows concentration, volume, and instructions for use. Read the label carefully, particularly regarding proper measurement and administration. Other formulations, such as injectable solutions, will have their own unique packaging and storage guidelines. Check the accompanying patient information leaflet for complete details.
