I was prescribed 20 mg of prednizone a d told to take two at the same time once a day. There are ten in the bottle. Detailed instructions say do not stop taking abruptly.So, do I take only one per day when I m down to two pills or just stop abruptly on the 5th day?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would recommend to gradually lower the dose by 5mg each week, when you will decide to stop it.
This will help avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
