Overview

Secondary Prevention

Preventative measures include:

  • Preventive measures for the secondary prevention of IPH include:

maintenance doses of prednisone or prednisolone of 10 to 15 mg/kg/day

  • In general, if the patient does not have any recurrence in 18 to 24 months, further tapering and discontinuation of steroids can be attempted.[1]
