Our most commonly used medications methylprednisolone, prednisone, and hydrocortisone have the potency of 4mg, 5mg, and 20mg, respectively (easy to remember that 4x5=20) Oral absorption of hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, prednisone, and dexamethasone is nearly 100% so convert IV to po on a 1:1 ratio.

ratio, eg, prednisolone is ~4- to 5-fold more selective than cortisol Cortisone, prednisone, and methylprednisolone are prodrugs of cortisol.
Using the chart, 80 mg methylprednisolone (4:5 ratio with prednisone) = 100 mg prednisone per day. Correct conversion would be: o Prednisone
