Good morning all,

 
I would like to know how to reduce a 5 mg pill 1 at a time??? I can cut it in half and then with some difficulty half again to get 3 3/4.  Does pred come in a smaller dose then 5mg??

hello,

here it comes in 2.5 and also 1 mgm.

pred comes in 1 mg tabs.Pred does come in 1mg but it is not enteric coated.

Ensure you get prescribed a gastro inhibitor when taking non enteric coated.  I take Lanzoprozale  each day.
It does come in 1 mg. -- in doing my wean (from 10 mg.) I've gone down 1/2 mg every two weeks -- and now down to 2 mg and have had no problem. Some people need to go much slower than that -- a lot will depend upon what your body "tells" you.
