What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, do not panic. You can take your medication when you remember. If it is close to when you are to take your next dose, skip your missed dose and continue taking your drug at the appropriate time.
Do not try to make up for the missed dose by taking double your dose. It may cause severe complications which can be fatal. You can set an alarm to help you remember when it’s time to use your medication.
What if I overdose?
If you overdose or you see a person that has overdosed, seek emergency medical attention. You can call the emergency helpline or the poison control center if you are unable to get to the hospital yourself.
An overdose of this drug is not usually expected to cause life-threatening symptoms. However, long-term use of high steroid doses can cause the onset of symptoms such as; menstrual problems, impotency, loss of interest in sex, thinning of the skin, bruising, and changes in the shape and location of the body fat increased facial hair, and increased acne outbreaks.
Note; do not stop taking your medication suddenly because it may lead to severe complications. Your doctor has to reduce your dose gradually before you can eventually stop taking your medication.
