Suggest Dosage For Methylprednisolone While Having Flu And Sinus Infection
Question: Hi-
I am on methylprednisolone for my flu and extreme sinus issues. This is short term. According to the instructions, I can take the correct dosage at one fell swoop as I have done in the past. Or I can break it up during the day. I find that because I take a dose before bedtime, I am having problems sleeping. Does the med contribute to this and would I be better reverting to an all at once in the morning regiment?Thanks.
