Corticosteroid equivalence
Compares approximate systemic anti-inflammatory potency of doses in the documented version. The result does not determine switching, withdrawal, tapering, interval or hormone replacement.
Calculate with transparency

Method · Limits of application
Liu 2013 / Meikle 1977; approximate systemic anti-inflammatory potency
Does not determine substitution, interval, withdrawal, tapering, hormone replacement or adrenal risk. Potencies are approximate; durations and mineralocorticoid activities differ.
Conditions of use
Check the conditions of application before calculating. The result presents the documented formula or criteria; it does not establish a diagnosis or prescription.
Scope of this implementation
Does not determine substitution, interval, withdrawal, tapering, hormone replacement or adrenal risk. Potencies are approximate; durations and mineralocorticoid activities differ.
