There is no clear cut guidelines on how and when to taper steroids. It depends on a lot of factors like the disease activity, dose and duration of steroids, side effects, adjuvants used etc. will surely cover the basic concepts behind it in a separate video. 👍👍😊
Thank you for asking your question. It depends on what article you are referring to. The anti-inflammatory potency of dexa is nearly 5 times of methyl pred. That's what the pharma textbooks mention. Regarding immunosuppressive effect, it has been found to be similar on a dose to dose comparison. A good choice would be to keep the side effects and physiological action like t1/2 in mind while prescribing, rather than how much immunosuppressive a drug is. We may discuss in person if the need be in some conference or anywhere. But I could not find a good reference for the statement. Will share with you and others if I find something. Thank you again for your comment. ☺️☺️

Does prednisolone has more immunosuppressant action and dexa has more anti inflammatory action?
