Corticosteroids are powerful medicines that save lives in conditions ranging from autoimmune diseases to respiratory illnesses. But stopping them suddenly can be dangerous. That’s why tapering—the gradual reduction of steroid doses—is considered an art backed by science.
In this video, we explore:
🔹 Why tapering is essential and what happens if it’s not done properly
🔹 The physiology of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis
🔹 Different tapering strategies used in clinical practice
🔹 Key factors doctors consider: duration of therapy, dose, and underlying disease
🔹 Warning signs of adrenal insufficiency during tapering
🔹 Real-world examples of tapering schedules for short-term and long-term use
🔹 Best practices to ensure safe transition off steroids
Whether you are a medical student, clinician, or patient looking to understand your treatment better, this video explains the concepts in clear, practical terms.
