"The task force further emphasised that patients should not be pushed to taper-off medication too quickly, a strategy that often results in relapse of disease. At the same time, the task force recognised that overtreatment should also be avoided. Achieving the minimal effective dose of medication is an important goal, and tapering-off GCs may have a higher priority than discontinuing disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), if both drugs are used in combination. However, no study has yet compared the benefits and risks of low-dose GCs (≤7.5 mg prednisone equivalent per day)75 without DMARDs against DMARDs without GCs."
