Call your doctor or local poison control center immediately. This is the most critical step.
Provide them with the details: the amount of prednisone ingested, the time of ingestion, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. Be prepared to answer questions about your medical history and any other medications you are taking.
If you experience severe symptoms like rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe abdominal pain, dial 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Seek immediate medical attention.
Do not induce vomiting unless specifically instructed by a medical professional. This can sometimes worsen the situation.
Follow all instructions given by your doctor or the poison control center carefully. They will guide you on the next steps and potential treatment options.
Keep a record of all communications with healthcare providers, including the time and date of the calls and the instructions given. This information will be invaluable for your ongoing care.
Monitor your symptoms and report any changes promptly. Write down details such as symptom onset, intensity, and duration.
