The follow up

Mr. Budi is visiting your polyclinic. His facial weakness is unchanged, which is expected at this early stage. However, his right eye is clear, white, and shows no signs of irritation or abrasion. Nurse Tono also stands beside you and reports, "Doc, the eye care is going well. His blood pressure this morning was 145/85 mmHg. The family is very grateful for your clear instructions and reassurance."

How do you proceed with the report from Nurse Tono?


  • His recovery is still incomplete. Let's continue the 60mg daily dose for another week to maximize the anti-inflammatory effect.
  • The 7-day course is complete. He can stop the medication now. A short course like this doesn't require a taper.
  • Excellent. Now we need to reduce the dose gradually. Please instruct the patient to begin a 5-day taper: 40mg tomorrow, then 30mg, then 20mg, then 10mg, and a final dose of 5mg.
