Prednisone

Hi Yaka,
It is not common to give 60 mg Prednisone during 3 weeks - as you understand the dose has to be tapered to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

Prednisone increases infections so they probably have to decrease the dose when they try to fight the infection. Then your mother will get severe withdrawal symptoms.

Now when the Prednisone is decreased we hope that the antibiotics will have effect!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
