The decision to discontinue Kevzara is made by your doctor. No tapering is needed like prednisone is tapered. Kevzara doesn't cause adrenal suppression. There is no risk of an adrenal crisis like there is for prednisone when it is stopped abruptly.

The only risk of stopping Kevzara too soon is the possibility of a relapse although symptoms shouldn't return suddenly. Sometimes the time between injections is extended to see if your symptoms start to return.
