Hi,
Prednisolone is a drug which needs strict doctor monitoring. A patient cannot and should not take decision on the dosage of this drug. To that extent, even me, who is not your treating doctor can advise you online on prednisalone dosage adjustments. So i strongly advise you to strictly comply with your treating doctors advise and If you have doubts or problems please do not hesitate to drop into your doctors office rather than you taking decisions on Prednisalone. Hope I have made it very clear.
