Prednisone acetate belongs to the hormone class of drugs and can generally be discontinued for short-term use, no longer than a week. If it is used for a longer period of time and the body has become dependent on it, the dosage should not be reduced too quickly or stopped abruptly, otherwise it can aggravate or relapse the condition that was in remission. The method of reducing the dosage of prednisone acetate tablets depends on whether the patient’s condition is under control, as well as the size of the hormone dosage and the length of time the hormone has been taken. Generally, the dosage can be gradually reduced two weeks after the clinical symptoms have basically disappeared and the condition has stabilized. Take taking prednisone 40mg (8 tablets) per day as an example, you can reduce 1-2 tablets every two weeks to 30mg (6 tablets) per day, then reduce half a tablet every two weeks to 15mg (3 tablets) per day, and then reduce the dosage more slowly until you stop taking the drug.
