    Author: Bakran I, Korsić M, Duraković Z, Vrhovac B, Tajić M.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pharmacol Biopharm; 1977 Feb; 15(2):57-60. PubMed ID: 328415.
    Abstract:
    The effect of alternate-day prednisone regimen (nine-patients) on cortisol secretion rate was compared with daily therapeutic regimen (ten patients) in corticosteroid-dependent asthmatics. Only the alternate-day regimen did not suppress the adrenal function. The therapeutic efficacy of both regimens was equal. The advantages of alternate-day corticosteroid therapy are presented and the optimal way of starting this therapy discussed.
