Are There Guidelines for Prednisone Tapers

Posted by annstl @annstl, 5 days ago

I am new to PMR: Diagnosed 1 month ago. I really want to learn more about reasoning, professional opinions, and guidelines to prednisone tapers schedules. I am taking a high level, tapering down every 2 weeks it seems excessive. How can you evaluate this? My sed rate is now down to a normal level

I’ve used as a tapering plan for 12 years. Adjusted for flares, etc.
Under 10mg reduce by no more than 10% +\-. Sometimes I shortcut by starting at 1 day/ 4 days.
