What are the tablet strengths available for prednisone?

• A. 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 50 mg
• B. 1, 5, 10, 15 mg
• C. 2, 4, 6, 8 mg
• D. 5, 10, 15, 25 mg

Answer: (A)

Prednisone tablets come in several strengths to allow flexible dosing. The standard strengths you’ll commonly encounter are 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 50 mg. This range covers small to large daily doses and lets clinicians adjust precisely as the treatment plan changes. The other options list strengths that aren’t typically available as prednisone tablets (such as 15 mg or 25 mg, or combinations that aren’t standard), so the set including 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 50 mg is the best match.
