Check with your doc: It really depends the underlying disease. Dosing can be fine tuned but more information is clearly necessary. Check with your doc.

Varies: The dose of Prednisone varies with the severity of the inflammatory p roblem. Many conditions can be successfully treated with small doses but life-threatening problems may require very large amounts of steroids. The goal is always to use the least amount of Prednisone for the shortest possible time.
