Do not know where to fit this in but here goes, Cannot get the answer to: For a person who has never taken prednisone will taking 150 mg of prednisone and then 10 hours later taking another 150 mg of prednisone be dangerous or even deadly for an 83 year old woman with many health problems? I will explane more if someone needs to know for an answer.

I think ER can give you a very prompt answer if you call them. Also they can help in case of an overdose.

Hi @peach414144, I agree with @lidiaboglarka. If you are concerned about having double-dosed on prednisone, please call ER or a pharmacist. They will be able to answer your question knowledgeably and specific to you. Mayo Clinic Connect is not a substitute for medical advice or in case of emergency. Please call ER or a pharmacy.

@peach414144- Hi Peach. I would suggest asking your pharmacist this question. Prednisone is potent medicine. What has your doctor said about the dose?
