I have prednisolone in 5 mg tablets. I like it better than prednisone because it's not metabolized by the liver my Paddy, even tho his liver values are fine, has a very old liver at 21 1/2 years. I almost never use prednisone anymore, only prednisolone, they are identical except for that

I just want to specify that I have the Prednisolone in 5 mg tablets if that is what you need. Also, from my experience you are suppose to decrease the dosage of the Pred slowly. Stages of decreasment would be for periods of two to three weeks. Precious Pets --- Pam Norman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Prednisone dosages vary, but should not exceed 2 mg/lb/day, and that only for severe conditions. Lucy is right now on 12.5 mg/day. She weighs 8 pounds. For severe IBD, recommended starting dosage is 1-2 mg/lb/day, so Lucy right now is right in the middle of that dosage (1.5 mg/lb/day). She
