For idiopathic interstitial pneumonia for which hormone therapy is an option, the routine dose of hormones varies according to the doctor’s own experience. Doctors at Gulou Hospital will choose according to the patient’s specific condition and physical status, usually at 20-30 mg/day, which can be given once or twice or three times a day, and the course of treatment also needs to depend on the disease, and the dose is usually adjusted only once a month. Since hormones have major side effects, all patients given hormone therapy must have good compliance and follow up regularly as required by the doctor.
