When to use

Use to convert a glucocorticoid dose to its prednisolone-equivalent for anti-inflammatory effect, e.g. when switching steroids.

Why use

It supports safe switching between corticosteroids.

Critical actions

Equivalence reflects ANTI-INFLAMMATORY (glucocorticoid) potency only — it ignores mineralocorticoid effect and differing durations of action. Not a guide to tapering; do not use for adrenal-replacement dosing.

Evidence & references

  1. Standard glucocorticoid equivalence (anti-inflammatory potency relative to prednisolone).
