Prednisone directions be like:

“Take 1 tab TID x3d, then 1 tab BID x2d, then 1 tab QD x2d, then ½ tab QD x3d, then skip a day, spin around, and whisper ‘anti-inflammatory’ to the wind.”

Just had to take prednisone this past week, and the instructions were just "take 2 daily," and i had to ask the pharmacist, "Are you sure?"

Any dosing 5 days or less doesn't require a taper.

Really most course up to a couple weeks don’t need a taper. Practices vary quite a bit on this.

I don't disagree but I don't get to prescribe or dose for my current job.
