How the Steroid Conversion Calculator Works
Our calculator utilizes a standardized table of approximate anti-inflammatory equivalent doses for common glucocorticoids. The conversion is based on the following formula:
Target Dose = (Current Dose (mg) / Equivalence Dose of Current Steroid) × Equivalence Dose of Target Steroid
For example, if you want to convert Prednisone 10mg to Dexamethasone, and knowing that Prednisone's equivalence is 5mg and Dexamethasone's is 0.75mg:
Target Dose = (10 mg / 5 mg) × 0.75 mg = 2 × 0.75 mg = 1.5 mg Dexamethasone
Note: These are approximate equivalence doses and should always be confirmed with a healthcare professional. Individual patient responses to steroids can vary significantly.
