Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Kidpred is given 1-2 mg/kg body weight in 2-3 divided doses after food.
It is a good medicine and has got several side on prolonged use.
It is better to use inhaled steroids instead of oral steroids.
Inhaled steroids have quick effect and less side effects.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
