Taper dose vs Taper off

      Taper dose (減劑量)和 Taper off (逐漸減劑量) 

在臨床上很常聽到 Taper dose(減劑量),Taper off(逐漸減劑量)。Taper "是逐漸減量的意思(to gradually become less in amount), 蠻常見在有急性氣喘(Asthma)需要使用類固醇的病人和有慢性疼痛疾病(chronic pain)且長期使用鴉片類管制止痛藥 (Opioid)的病人!

如果當你聽見醫生說:"I am going to prescribe prednisone for taper dose", 那你就知道要慢慢減藥的劑量。醫生寫的醫囑, 有時候Tapered dosage是每天慢慢減劑量,但也有可能服用2到3天後再慢慢減量。 

(1) Taper dose (減劑量):

以下是類固醇6天慢慢減劑量做範例(Example of taper dose of prednisone )

Day 1: 30 mg on day 1 administered as 10 mg at breakfast, 5 mg at lunch, 5 mg at dinner, and 10 mg at bedtime. 

Day 2: 25 mg on day 2 administered as 5 mg  at breakfast, 5 mg  at lunch, 5 mg  at dinner, and 5 mg at bedtime.

Day 3: 20 mg on day 3 administered as 5 mg at breakfast, 5 mg  at lunch, 5 mg at dinner, and 5 mg at bedtime.

Day 4: 15 mg on day 4 administered as 5 mg at breakfast, 5 mg  at lunch, and 5 mg at bedtime.

Day 5: 10 mg on day 5 administered as 5 mg  at breakfast and 5 mg at bedtime.

Day 6: 5 mg on day 6 administered as 5 mg at breakfast.
