What are the dangers of stopping one’s dosage of prednisone?

0

A Stopping steroids suddenly can be dangerous. The adrenal glands may be suppressed and fail to work properly and the patient may end up in the hospital in a matter of days. So, it isn’t a good idea to stop prednisone without being under a doctor’s supervision. Generally, it is best to taper the dose slowly over a period of months.
