When I was told by my doc, that I should take six tablets of a steroid drug (predinoslone) all of them every morning, over a seven day period, I decided to take 2 at a time, morning and night and then on the third day, feeling much better, I reduced the dose to just one, morning and night, then half of a tablet morning and night.
It worked.
It seemed obvious to me, that a 250 pound 6ft tall guy, is going to need more than I, who weighs half of that number.
We must use our common sense to avoid the pitfalls of the patriarchy.
