Quitting Deltacortri 5mg Tabs Prednisolone

How to gradually reduce 40mg daily dosage of deltacotril having taken this for 3 days. Unsure if GP said to reduce by 10mg or 20 mg daily. Thanks

Hi, Ann!

Calling your GP to check is never a bad idea.

However, I doubt that it was a 20mg reduction, such tapering is usually done in 5 or 10mg increments, but you should definitely call them to check and be sure. It's really for your own health and safety, since there are serious risks associated with the sudden withdrawal of a high dose.

Is there anything else I can help with?
