My doc just gave me a scrip for prednisone and it is spread out over the day... 1 before breakfast, one at lunch and dinner and 1 at bed time... day two would be one at breakfast, lunch and dinner and so on... you might wanna call your doctor and ask. It might be different if you are taking it for asthma... I am taking mine for hives... lol

It is best to take the prednisone tablets together all at once. They are best taken in the morning with breakfast.
