The right corticosteroid daily dose for pemphigus vulgaris is:
- a- 1-2 g/kg/daily
- b- 1-2 mg
- c- 10 mg
- d- 50- 100 mg hydrocortisone.***
Very high dosages are used initially to suppress bulla formation (of the order of 1 mg/kg prednisolone daily), but this may often be slowly reduced to a maintenance dose of 15 mg daily or thereabouts.
