Reason: The reason the medication may be prescribed this way is to attempt to reduce side effects such as elevated blood pressure.

No fixed interval: Follow your treating physician’s advise. Such treatment usually depends on what is been treated and your response. Agree that such spacing is to minimize the various adverse effects of prolonged steroid therapy
