I’ll write out my personal summary of the way to reduce the dosage The first principle: it is better to reduce the dosage slowly than quickly. For some patients who recover quickly after surgery, we can reduce the dosage in 3 days. But if the patient’s recovery is slow and weakness, depression, urinary incontinence, etc. occur during the reduction process, the original dose or even a larger dose must be added back. 3 days is relative, and the body’s reaction is the first. The second principle: reduce the morning first, then reduce the afternoon. For example, if the original dose is 10mg of prednisone in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon, the first dose reduction should be 5mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon, the second dose reduction should be 5mg in the morning and 5mg in the afternoon, the third dose reduction should be 2.5mg in the morning and 5mg in the afternoon, and the fourth dose reduction should be 2.5mg in the morning and 2.5mg in the afternoon. Third principle: multiple hormones, separate dose reduction. For example, post-operative patients usually take prednisone and eugenol, do not reduce the dose at the same time, i.e., reduce prednisone and eugenol at the same time on the same day. This may result in the doctor not being able to easily determine exactly which hormone reduction is causing the problem when the condition changes.
