Systemic Steroid Taper

Korean medicine support during steroid tapering works best as regular visits rather than a single prescription, fine-tuning the treatment as rebound symptoms change at each stage of the taper. Visits are typically spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart to check condition, pain, and sleep, and herbal medicine is arranged in a form and schedule that's easy to take during a busy workday. That said, the taper speed and any lab schedules are always centered on your prescribing doctor's care.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

Dongjedang plans visits and medication schedules with the routines of office workers and self-employed patients in the Dong-gu, Incheon area in mind. At the first visit, we use pulse diagnosis and consultation to identify which parts of the body are sagging or aching during the taper, then guide you through brief follow-up visits to continue supportive care without much burden. The taper schedule always stays in step with your prescribing doctor.
