    Medrol Pack

    I unfortunately have to go back on a medrol pack. My Doctor is out but did call in my medrol pack. I picked it up at 1pm. The problem is you're supposed to start these in the AM before breakfast etc...

    What do some of you do when you need the steroids right away? Do you wait it out until the next morning?

    Last time I used a Medrol Pack...which was awhile back, same thing. Doc told me take all the first days pills at once with a meal.

    It said I could do it right on the package for the first day only. You might want to read through the whole package first, to include the blister pack itself, to see if you can still take the first days pills in one swoop. If it is not on there, I would call the doctor.

      Not sure, but I would suggest you ask the pharmacist where you got it filled. My guess is that you need to follow exactly..but not certain.

      Good luck, feel better,

        You're right, I didn't think of that. I think one day is only 40mg and I have taken 60mg a day before.

        I would call my Doc, but he's out. He only called in for updates and his nurse told him I thought I needed a medrol pack today.
