Methylprednisone Dosage For Sinusitis
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I was prescribed prednisone and an antibiotic for a sinus infection. The Methylprednisone came in the 6-day pack of 4 mg pills. However, my prescription said "1 tablet a day" so I assumed I should take 1 a day for 21 days instead of following the instructions inside the pack. Is this a normal dosage?

I was prescribed metylprednisone for smell loss. After the first dose my remaining smell started to fade away. So I stopped taking them. Is this common? I will never know if I have inflammation. What should I do?

No, usually it is still prescribed to be taken as instructed on the package, however, only your doctor can say definitively.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, fluid retention and acne.

Is there anything else I can help with?
