Hi, I was diagosed in December 24, on 40mgs prednisolone, then in Jan 25, pred dropped to 30mgs and 50mgs Aza was added. Aza was increased to 100mgs inn Feb 25 and I was rold the initial low dose was to see how I tolerated it before it went to a higher dose. 100mgs was on the basis of 1mg per kg of weight (I'm under 100 kgs). Pred was reduced at 5mgs month until last month when it hit 10mgs. Hepatologist said this was my long term maintenance level but I'm having awful side effects from the pred so I've continued the taper myself (I've told the hep what I'm doing and that as my liver levels reduced quickly from ALT 1,553 to 17 in 4 months. And, I don't drink / smoke and have healthy diet etc. that I think I'm a good candidate for coming off the pred - I only have F1 fibrosis and a bit of fatty liver). I've seen recommendations that the Aza maintenance dose should be between 1-2 mgs per kgs body weight.
