Hello,
- Medications like Vynase need careful tapering; you should discuss with his doctor on the approach and duration of tapering
- It is possible that the decrease in the dose from 30 to 20 mg, is causing these symptoms in your son
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
