Dosage: 8 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: I've been on the DosePak for 5 days now, and I'm so weak I can hardly talk. I'm having trouble walking, because I'm so weak. Called my PCP and was told to expect this for 4 days after I'm off the steroids. Also cautioned to keep a close check on my blood sugar, as steroids raise blood glucose levels and blood pressure.
Cost: < $25 monthly
