Let´s see if I get it:
You took on your first day 6 pills and you were supposed to take only one, so you took 24 mgs. instead of taking 4mgs., that is 20mgs. more that you must not have taken, I suggest you call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222, and tell them if there is any sign of intoxication.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
An overdose of methylprednisolone is not expected to produce life threatening symptoms. However, long term use of high steroid doses can lead to symptoms such as thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems, impotence, or loss of interest in sex.
No I took the one pill designated for day 6 and only one of the pills designated for day 5.
But by your answer all pills must then be 4mg so to correct my error I just need to take 4 more pills to complete my day1 dosages
Correct ?
