BOF: 249
A 32-year-old female has been on
long-term steroids to suppress activity of Crohn’s disease. She has been
started on azathioprine and disease control appears to be satisfactory. The
consultant who saw her in clinic has instructed one of your juniors to tail
off this patient’s steroids. He has asked the junior to reduce steroids to
physiological dosage and maintain the patient on that dosage until she is next
seen in clinic. The junior rings you to ask what dosage of prednisolone should
be considered physiological. You reply that physiological dosage of
corticosteroids
is a daily dose of prednisolone:
a)
15 mgs
b)
10 mgs
c)
7.5 mgs
d)
5 mgs
e)
