Hi all, I have a 2yr old male who is being treated successfully for IBD with prednisone. The trouble I am having is reducing the pred dose - everytime I try to drop his dosage down to every 2nd day his symptoms flare up again, so I go back to a daily dose and once again he picks up. I am concerned about side effects from the prednisone long term and was hoping someone could tell me what is considered a safe dosage? He seems to remain stable on 0.01ml twice daily.
