Prednisone Intensol, a liquid formulation, offers a different delivery method compared to standard prednisone tablets. This impacts dosage calculations. One milliliter (mL) of Prednisone Intensol typically contains 5 mg of prednisone. Therefore, to match a tablet dosage, you must adjust accordingly. For example, a 20 mg prednisone tablet is equivalent to 4 mL of Prednisone Intensol.
Dosage adjustments are frequently necessary. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage based on your specific condition, response to treatment, and other health factors. They’ll likely start with a higher dose, then gradually taper it down. Never alter your prescription without consulting your physician. This gradual reduction minimizes potential withdrawal symptoms.
Children’s dosages are calculated differently, often based on weight or body surface area. Always follow your doctor’s precise instructions.
