I Accidentally Had One Dose Of Prednisone Already For 1 Day

I had been given a 30 mg prednisone which should be cut in half and be taken for twice a day. But I accidentally took the whole tablet in the morning already. So it's like i took the other dose(the next half one) in advance for the day. I'm not sure if still it would just be okay or not, or if it wouldn't be effective anymore after that

Oh yes, there should not be any problem, unless your doctor deems otherwise. The only reason they are usually split up throughout the day is to minimize the side effects, but they normally can be taken all at once, if needed.

The NIH reports the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, and insomnia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
