What is the risk of hypokalaemia with a 50mg dose of prednisolone?
By Tripdatabase.
Abstract
No direct evidence for the risk of hypokalaemia specifically at a 50mg dose of prednisolone was found. General corticosteroid guidance advises monitoring potassium due to known risks of loss, demonstrated in both lower-dose studies and case reports.
