How to properly reduce the dosage of hormone drugs

Usually, if hormonal drugs are applied for treatment, they should not be reduced immediately. The process of reducing the dose of hormonal drugs, such as prednisone, cortisone and dexamethasone, which are often used, needs to be gradually reduced. If you take 4 tablets once a day, 7 days a week for 8 weeks, the dose will be gradually reduced by half to 1/2 of the original dose from the 9th to the 12th week, that is, the next 4 weeks, and then by half to 1/2 of the original dose from the 12th to the 16th week, and then by half to 1/2 of the original dose from the 16th to the 18th week, and then by 1/2 of the original dose from the 18th to the 20th week. This is the correct way to reduce hormone dosage.
