Hello @fernandoparce , are you taking PREDNISONE? If so it is generally used to reduce inflammation and may have other benefits when used to treat Mesenteric Panniculitis.

Your doctor may have instructed you to take it with food, maybe after a meal. Prednisone can make you nauseous. If your doctor instructed you to take it after a meal, make sure you are doing that to minimize any nausea. You do not want to quit taking it without talking to your doctor first.

Please call your doctor or pharmacist and let them know that you didn't take the 40mg. It may not be a big deal. Maybe they will just have you take 20mg for two weeks then taper off, you just won't receive the benefits of the 40mg.

Did this answer your questions?
