Hi - Prednisone is typically prescribed in a weaning dose. Example - take 3 tablets once a day. That means take them all at once. Then the prescription should tell you when to start taking 2 tablets once a day and so on. You need to wean off prednisone and other steroids, so you start with the larger dose (taken all at once), and then step down your dosage as prescribed, until your prescription is finished. Always take it all at once unless otherwise directed.
