Prednisone tablets usually appear as white or nearly white, round, scored tablets. They come in various strengths, commonly ranging from 1 mg to 50 mg. The specific appearance may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
Always check the medication label for precise details. Look for:
- The strength (e. g., 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg) The manufacturer’s name and logo Expiration date Any specific markings or identifiers on the tablet itself
Proper storage is critical. Keep prednisone tablets in a tightly closed container, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Storing in a cool, dry place is recommended.
If you notice any significant differences in the pill’s appearance from what you’ve received before, or if it shows signs of degradation (such as discoloration or unusual odor), contact your pharmacist or doctor immediately.
Never take prednisone without a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional. Follow their dosage instructions carefully.
Take prednisone exactly as prescribed. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets unless specifically instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. Report any side effects to your doctor promptly.
Incorrect storage or usage can affect the medication’s potency. Handle your medication responsibly.
