Hi guys.

Looking for some advice. Had a bit of a set back recently and the MS nurse has prescribed steroids (oral methylprednisolone 500mg). She said take them in the morning. When I picked them up I have been given 5 100g tablets to take daily. Question is do I take them all at once or did she mean start taking them in the morning. I am to start tomorrow and she is not back in office until Wednesday.

Thanks G

I was told by my MS nurse to take all 5 tablets together first thing in morning,so have one then another etc…Then next day repeat the process.

Hope this helps
