If it's not too late now, give her the whole thing. I know it sounds insane, but the pharmaicist is right.

I'm sorry, I thought you were posting about Pandas exclusively...I don't know what to say about the dosage for hearing loss. It may well be that you need both AM and PM dosages. My husband happens to be on prednisone for poison ivy and he takes it in the AM and PM also, so I think I would follow whatever your doctor advised to save your child's hearing. Best of luck.

The pharmacist said that if the doctor says to begin today (he was very adamant about that) then that means to take the full course today. She thinks I am supposed to give my daughter the full 40mg (prednisone) dose tonight. The Rx is for 20mg 2x a day. I cannot get a hold of the doctor. My daughter is 84lbs. What do you think.

P.s. This is not for the pandas. It is to save her hearing.

I would be a little worried to give her so much at night, as it may make her hyper, but if the doctor said today, I would just do it all. What's up with her hearing?

My son is 80lbs and the first week of the taper we do all 40mg in the am, just in case it alters his moods, but luckily it never does.
