Hello. Thank you for your question. Yes, one of the potential siiide effects of millipred is hyperactivity. Giving the dose earlier should be helpful. Keep in mind, however, that the number of days the medication is needed to treat croup is limited. The sooner you can stop the medication, the better. I recommend consulting with your doctor regarding the apporpriate time to atop the medication..
