From what my Drs have told me the convention is there is bog all benefit from taking more than 40mg pred during an accute attack unless you have a specific absorbtion problem. Yet a non-AUK friend is always given 60 during an accute attack by her GP and she has no problems with steriod levels etc. Why is it some places just say double your pred to 60, 80 and even 100 when there is no evidence to say it is makes things any better any quicker and just compounds the problems and slows the weening off.
