Thank you for your update. I am slowly weaning down from my original 50 mg pred daily, currently taking 40 mg daily. As I expected, my urine Pr/Cr is now normal. My kidneys seemingly respond to prednisone, but only at an initial high dose to suppress the protein loss. Your information helps me because once I am down to 20 mg daily, I have to add Tacrolimus or Mycophenolate. My nephrologist says he uses generic, so I find it interesting you don’t tolerate all the generics. I researched a monthly cost for me, and estimated $300-400, but I am on Medicare with a supplemental Drug plan. $800 for a 30 day supply is tough.
