Stepping down off Pred.

0 Replies

Im sure Ive seen somewhere on this site a name of a drug that has been given to

help people come off of Pred.

My daughter has been on a step down since early July and due to it being winter here

she;s has a bit a a relapse and up't it to 20mg as she wasn't coping with the 5mg.

Weve got our first infusion of Xolair on thurs and hoping and praying that we see some

improvement overall. Weve got everything crossed!!

just need to know the name of that drug so I can discuss it on thurs with consultant.

Any ideas?
