Store prednisone tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Ideal storage temperature is between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Avoid bathrooms, where humidity is often high.
Maintaining Pill Pot Integrity
Keep prednisone in its original, tightly sealed container. This protects the medication from moisture and air. If you transfer it to another container, ensure it’s airtight and opaque. Discard the medication if the container is damaged.
Checking for Signs of Degradation
Regularly inspect your prednisone. Look for changes in color, texture, or odor. Any signs of discoloration or unusual smell indicate potential degradation and should prompt disposal. Never take expired medication.
