Slight Itching, Hives Pretty Much All Over The Body. Prescribed Methyl Prednisone. Still Have Outbreaks. What To Do ?

HAD A BAD ALLERGIC REACTION TO SOMETHING DON'T KNOW WHAT FROM, STARTED A LITTLE ITCHING ON SUNDAY EVENING, MONDAY BY THE EVENING I HAD HIVES PRETTY MUCH ALL OVER MY BODY. TOOK SOME BENIDRILL AND IT CALMED THE ITCHING DOWN A LITTLE. TUESDAY GOT UP AND WENT TO MY DOCTOR WHICH HE PERSCRIBED METHYLPREDNISOLONE 4MG DOSPAK 21'S (MFG CADISTA). I FILL THE PERCRIPTION AND STATRED IT AROUND 3PM AND IT SAID IT WAS OKAY TO TAKE THE SIX PILLS ALL AT ONE TIME, SO I DID, STARTED FEELING BETTER AND IT WAS GOING AWAY I WAS HAPPY. ALL OF A SUDDEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT I STATRED GETTING VERY ITCHY AND IT BROKE OUT ALL OVER AGAIN, SO YESTERDAY EVENING I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE DOCTOR GAVE ME PREDNISONE 20MG AND TAKE 1 TABLET BY MOUTH EVERY DAY FOR 3 DAYS, SO I DID THAT ABOUT 3 HOURS AGO.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS DO I STOP TAKING THE METHLYIPREDNISOLONE TABLETS, USP 4 MG CAUSE I STILL HAVE 3 IN A HALF MORE DAYS OF PILLS LEFT. THANK YOU , AAAA

Welcome to HealthCare Magic
Hope you are doing good. methylprednisolone is typically used for its anti-inflammatory effects. However, glucocorticoids have a wide range of effects, including changes to metabolism and immune responses. You should use the Medicine for 3 days in total.
I hope you will be satisfied with the answer.
