How to Use Steroid Conversion Calculator?
Follow a simple process: choose the source medicine, enter the dose, compare the result, and review it carefully.
Select the Current Steroid
Start with the corticosteroid already being used or reviewed, such as prednisone or hydrocortisone.
Enter the Dose
Add the dose amount carefully, checking the unit and confirming the number is entered correctly.
Choose the Target Steroid
Select the medication you want to compare against for an estimated equivalent dose.
Calculate the Equivalent
Use the Steroid Conversion Calculator result as an estimate for reviewing dose relationship.
Review the Output
Check the calculated value, source steroid, target steroid, and any supporting notes before using it.
Consider Clinical Context
Factor in route, duration, tapering needs, patient condition, and clinician guidance before decisions.
Record the Comparison
Save or document the equivalent dose clearly so it can be checked again later if needed.
Confirm Before Applying
Use the result for information only and confirm final medication changes with a qualified professional.
