Is Taking Prednisone Safe While Discontinuing Decadron?
My daughter is weaning off of Dexamethazone after brain surgery may 1st. They re then putting her on prednisone for two months weaning down every 5 days. She tried twice to wean off the decadron but that didn t work so dr is putting her on prednisone after decadrone and weaning slowly. Does that sound like a good plan?

Hi,
The plan sounds absolutely perfect.
The doctor is doing the right thing.
Prednisolone is fine for weaning off.
Hope she does well.
Wishing her an early recovery
Regards.
