Which Dosage?

A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi- if you're open to sharing.. what current medication are you on to control your lupus and what dosage are you taking?

The doctor just put me on prednisone for the 1st time about a week ago but it's not a long term dosage? It's 40mg for 1 week and now I'm down to 20mg for a week- then 10 for a week...

Hi Lady_N
I am on myfortic - plaquinil- oroxine -tramadol and antihistamine and
10mg prednisone daily.
When a flare arises I am to up the prednisone to 40mg for 3 days then 20mg for 3 days then back to my 10mg a day. So far this works for me.😊
